We build the right bridge between production and retail.
- For brands and retailers: the quality, the method and the batch that truly fit.
- For manufacturers: serious, specified orders from Europe and the UK.
- For both: the right quality, correct compliance and paperwork handled in between.
Eftimo is a global textile trading company. Regardless of your batch sizes, we connect brands, retailers and distributors in Europe, the UK and the US with manufacturers in countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and we stay with every order from the first specification to delivery.
01The right people, on both sides.
Good trade starts with the right match. Buyers need factories that can really make their product at their quantity, price and standard. Factories need buyers who are serious, specific and pay on time. We find both, check both, and connect them.

02Where we trade
Each route has its own strengths, duties and paperwork. We choose the route that fits the order, not the other way round.
Quality knitwear from experienced, well-audited factories. Preferential duty access with the right origin proof.
Scale and price for basics. Preferential duty access under EU and UK schemes, with the right origin proof.
Strong knit factories and certified lines. Trade agreements apply when the fabric origin qualifies.
Cotton know-how, organic and home textiles. Duty depends on the scheme and the product.
Selected routes with full cotton traceability, as US import rules require.
Duty, origin proof, labelling and documents are confirmed for your market before you commit.
03How we trade
Simple, written and secure, on terms both sides can trust.
Everything in writing
Specification, approved sample, quantities, delivery terms (Incoterms), inspection standard and payment terms, agreed before production starts.
Secured at each step
Deposits, balances against inspection and documents, or letters of credit for larger orders. Payment only to verified company accounts.
Your terms
FOB, CIF or delivered to your door. We coordinate freight, origin proof and the documents your customs broker needs.
04The right factory, not just the cheapest quote.
We shortlist manufacturers that fit your product, quantity, price level and certification needs, then collect comparable quotes against one written specification, so you compare like with like.
Each sourcing country has its own strengths in price, scale, speed and specialities. We match every order to the one that suits it.
Read more
- Every request starts with a spec sheet: fabric, weight (GSM), composition, sizes and tolerances, colours, labels, packing.
- We check what factories claim: company registration, certificates in the issuers' own databases, references.
- Price is compared together with lead time, minimums, quality track record and compliance.
05Bulk that matches the approved sample.
The approved sample becomes the reference. We follow production at the key stages and arrange an independent pre-shipment inspection to international sampling standards before the balance is paid.
Read more
- Inspection to ISO 2859-1 (AQL) sampling; typical apparel levels are agreed in the order.
- Measurements, shrinkage and colour fastness are checked against the specification.
- A failed inspection means rework and re-inspection, agreed in writing before production starts.
06Compliance decides your duty and your risk.
The same T-shirt can enter the EU duty-free or at 12%, depending on where the fabric was made and which origin proof travels with it. We work this out before you order, not at the border.
Read more
- Preferential duty under the EU and UK schemes and trade agreements, with the right proof (REX statement, EUR.1, A.TR).
- EU and UK labelling, REACH chemical restrictions and product-safety responsibilities.
- Cotton origin and forced-labour due diligence, increasingly required by buyers and regulators.
07Two ways to work with us.
We recommend the model that fits each order, and tell you why.
You buy directly from the factory
- We find, compare and qualify the factory, and manage samples, production and inspection.
- You pay the factory directly. We are paid a transparent commission.
- Best for repeat programmes and buyers who want a direct supplier relationship.
You buy from Eftimo
- We buy from the factory and sell to you on the delivery terms you choose.
- One contract and one invoice; quality and delivery are our responsibility.
- Best for first or smaller orders, and for buyers who prefer one accountable partner.
As a sourcing agent we are paid a commission that is agreed in writing before we start. In full-service supply our margin is part of the price we quote you. Either way you know the cost up front. No hidden fees.

10For manufacturers
