Who This Is For
Used clothing from the United States is in demand across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe, and most of it moves the same way: in full containers bought by importers, wholesalers, and market traders who sell it on at home. If you buy by the container for resale overseas, this is how buying from RawBales works.
What You Can Load
- ·Raw credential clothing — 100% unsorted, ungraded donated clothing in 800–1,100 lb bales, exactly as collected. $0.53–$0.60/lb (about $1.17–$1.32/kg).
Every order is a full 40,000 lb load — about 18 metric tons. Order one load, several, or a standing monthly schedule. Nothing is sorted or picked over before it's loaded, so the best pieces are still in the load when it reaches your port. See why raw beats graded.
How Pricing and Freight Work
Product and ocean freight are quoted separately. Freight depends on distance from the load's origin to the port you name. Payment is upfront, before shipping. Here's how to figure landed cost per pound. Country notes, including the port to name, are linked below.
Documents to Expect
