Buying yarn, step 2 of 13
Choose origins and terms
The duty into your country, the payment terms you can carry, and the lead time your programme can live with.
The country table puts wages, power, currency and duty status side by side.
Tools for this step
- Import duty on fibre and yarn
Find your tariff line and read the base rate for each market, with the code it was read at. Britain and the Union have diverged on yarn.
- Seven supplier countries, side by side
Compare Pakistan, India, China, Bangladesh and the rest on wages, power reliability, currency, cost of money and the tariff they face, each figure stamped with its own year.
- Country cost indicators Excel
Take the whole origin comparison away as a sheet, with a reference year in its own column against every figure.
