Export compliance & duty — included in the price
Every shipment from this cotton hosiery and knitwear manufacturer in Kanpur India listing is prepared for the destination market by ZJELL Limited, the Wedge Group’s export-consulting company, so that documentation is never the reason a consignment is delayed. The following are included or arranged:
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100; GOTS or BCI cotton on request
- Fibre-content and care labelling to US FTC and EU 1007/2011
- CPSIA testing and tracking labels for children’s garments; EU EN 14682 cord safety for kidswear

- Country-of-origin labelling; SEDEX/SMETA-audited units on request
Import duty position (verify with your broker before ordering): UK: India–UK CETA in force from 15-07-2026 — knitted apparel from 12% to 0%. USA: MFN (6109 cotton 16.5%) plus 10% Section 301 — still below China and Vietnam at 12.5% surcharge. GCC: 5%. EU: MFN 12%, FTA not yet in force.
Knitted in Kanpur — the Manchester of the East
Kanpur’s hosiery units run circular knitting, dyeing and garmenting under one roof, drawing cotton yarn from Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring spinning belts; production is concentrated in the Panki, Dada Nagar and Fazalganj industrial areas. The cluster is strongest in basics and innerwear rather than fashion knits.
Wedge Industries Limited works with vertically integrated units that hold OEKO-TEX and social-compliance audits, because private-label importers in the UK and Germany will not onboard a supplier without them.
Packing, cartons & shipping
Each piece folded and poly-bagged with size sticker; 60–120 pieces per 5-ply export carton depending on weight; cartons palletised or loose-loaded. A 40-ft high-cube carries roughly 60,000–80,000 T-shirts.
| Pack detail | Specification |
|---|---|
| Carton / unit load | T-shirts: 100 pcs per carton, 60 × 40 × 40 cm, approx. 20 kg gross. Kids’ sets: 120 sets per carton, approx. 16 kg gross. |
