Garments we supply in Qatar

Qatar is a small, high-income market where department stores, mall retailers and a large migrant workforce create steady demand for both branded fashion and affordable basics.

Buyers here are importers in Doha supply mall brands and hypermarkets; contractors and facility firms buy workwear and uniforms in volume; hotels and hospitality groups reorder staff uniforms.

Shoppers buy modest, good-quality cottons, white and pastel shirts, polos and trousers, with strong demand for abayas, thobes, kidswear and sportswear; workwear buyers want durable, easy-care fabrics.

Hot summers favour light fabrics from April to October. Buying peaks before Ramadan, Eid, National Day (18 December) and the start of the school year.

Goods are cleared at Hamad Port through the Qatar customs system with commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin; Arabic and English labelling of fibre and origin is usual. Check current rules with your broker.

Duties and taxes: GCC customs duty (no VAT at present). Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.
