This technical analysis is prepared by the production and engineering desk at Mayser Textile Turkey. Based on over 30 years of high-volume garment manufacturing for international fashion houses and defense clients, this guide outlines critical operational standards, cost drivers, and execution steps.
Choosing the Right Incoterm for Your Business
Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) establish exact buyer-seller responsibilities regarding freight costs, transit insurance, and customs risk. Understanding FOB, EXW, and DDP is essential for predictable cost accounting.
FOB (Free on Board) - Ideal for Experienced Importers
Under FOB Istanbul or Mersin, Mayser Textile clears goods through Turkish customs and delivers them onto the buyer’s carrier. The buyer oversees international transport, maintaining control over freight forwarder contracts and transit timings.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) - Turnkey Simplicity
For fashion brands lacking dedicated customs brokerages, DDP provides end-to-end peace of mind. The manufacturer assumes full responsibility until goods arrive directly at your regional warehouse door, with zero customs administration for your team.
