Custom Clothing Manufacturer for UK Brands
From London streetwear labels to Manchester start-ups, ZK INTERNATIONAL makes custom and private label clothing for UK brands — in UK sizing, from 50 pcs per style, delivered to your door.
Why UK brands choose ZK International
Factory-direct pricing, low minimums and favourable UK trade terms for goods made in Pakistan.
Pakistan has enhanced preferences in the UK's Developing Countries Trading Scheme, which removes or reduces duty on most of its exports.
Start with 50 pcs per style and grow from there — many of our customers started exactly like this.
Small orders take about 2–3 weeks after sample approval, then about 4 days by DHL or FedEx.
GOTS approved, working to Sedex, BSCI, OEKO-TEX and ISO 9001 standards; workers paid 3× local wage rates.

Yes, by DHL or FedEx (usually about 4 days once shipped) or by sea for larger orders, to anywhere in the UK.
Is there import duty on clothing from Pakistan to the UK?
Pakistan has enhanced preferences under the UK Developing Countries Trading Scheme, so many products can enter duty-free or at reduced duty when rules of origin are met. We provide the origin documents and can quote DDP.
