Importing clothing and textiles from China to Saudi Arabia

Garments and fabrics are among the most imported goods from China into the Gulf, from fashion and abayas to uniforms and home textiles.

Where to source

  • Guangzhou: fashion wholesale markets and garment factories
  • Keqiao (Shaoxing): the largest fabric market in China
  • Humen (Dongguan): women's wear
  • Ningbo and Jiangsu: uniforms and knitwear

Quality points

  • Approve fabric swatches and a size set before bulk production
  • Check stitching, colour fastness and measurements during inspection
  • Plan sizes for the Gulf market, which often differ from Chinese sizing
  • Labels with fibre content and care instructions

Shipping

Fast-moving fashion often goes by air; regular stock and fabrics by sea. Textiles fall under SASO regulations, so we check SABER requirements for your products.
