FAQ

Pakistani Cotton Export · FAQ

What staple lengths do you offer?
Standard 26mm Punjab lint and 28mm+ premium lint. Longer staples (>30mm) are not commercially available from Punjab — that's an Egyptian or US Pima territory.
Do you ship cotton yarn or only lint?
Both. Lint goes to spinning mills; combed cotton yarn (varied counts) is available for buyers who prefer value-added.
How is cotton priced?
Based on the New York Cotton Futures contract plus or minus the Pakistan Cotton Basis. We quote weekly during ginning season and on a programmed basis thereafter.
What's the MOQ?
1 × 40'HC container (≈ 80 bales / 13.6 MT) for lint. Yarn MOQ varies by count.
