What we load for export
RawBales loads two products for overseas buyers, both sold as raw credentials: untouched, ungraded donated goods, exactly as collected. Nothing is sorted or picked over before it goes in the container, so the best pieces are still in the load when it reaches your port.
- ·Used clothing containers — raw credential clothing in 800–1,100 lb bales, $0.55–$0.64/lb (about $1.21–$1.41/kg), $22,000–$25,600 per load before freight.
- ·Used shoes containers — credential shoes by the full load, priced per load on request.
How a container order works
- ·Submit a request and choose International — container export. Give us your country, destination port, and how many loads you need.
- ·A rep comes back with a firm quote for the product and, separately, ocean freight to your port, so you can compare your all-in landed cost against what you pay locally.
- ·We load the container and send the shipping documents. You handle import permits, duties, and customs clearance at your end.
- ·Repeat buyers can set up a standing schedule, with priority allocation on every run.
Full loads only
Every export order is a full 40,000 lb load, about 18 metric tons, going to one buyer. There are no shared containers, partial loads, or single bales. If you buy several containers a month, a standing load program keeps supply consistent.
Documents and import rules
Expect a commercial invoice, a packing list with bale count and weights, and a bill of lading. Some destinations ask for additional certificates on used goods, such as fumigation, so tell us up front.
Some countries restrict, heavily tax, or ban imports of used clothing and shoes. Check your country's rules and what your customs office requires before you order. Permits, duties, and clearance are the buyer's responsibility.
Questions from importers
What is the minimum export order?
One full load: 40,000 lbs, about 18 metric tons, per order. We do not sell partial containers or shared loads.
Do you sell sorted or graded product for export?
No. Every load is raw credentials, untouched and ungraded. If you want pre-sorted product, we are not the right supplier.
How is freight priced?
Product and ocean freight are quoted separately. Give us your destination port on the request form and we will quote freight to it.
Can I set up recurring container shipments?
Yes. A standing load program puts full loads on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedule at the same per-pound rate.
