For 2026, RossBoss used clothing bale prices range from $0.29/kg for budget winter items to $3.50/kg for premium A-grade summer silk dresses, with most standard summer categories averaging between $1.00 and $2.00 per kilogram.
These prices are based on EXW Guangzhou terms and require buyers to arrange freight separately, with 40HQ containers typically loading 28 tons of 90kg bales or 22 tons of 25kg shoe sacks.
2026 Pricing Tiers: Premium vs. Budget
The 2026 RossBoss price guide is structured around three distinct tiers that reflect quality, seasonality, and market demand. The highest-value tier is the A+ summer selection, which includes sorted, fashion-forward items like women’s silk blouses at $2.48/kg and summer silk dresses at $3.50/kg. These bales are best suited for boutique retailers or markets where customers pay a premium for nearly-new fashion.
The standard summer tier drives the majority of container volume, with women’s short-sleeve T-shirts at $1.40/kg for A-grade and $0.51/kg for B-grade, children’s summer wear at $2.20/kg, and men’s short-sleeve T-shirts at $1.75/kg. Buyers can reference the Quality Grade page to understand the difference between A and B grades before committing to volume orders.
Winter and Economy Bales
Winter clothing is priced significantly lower due to weight and lower demand in tropical markets. Men’s jackets start at $0.29/kg, children’s winter wear at $0.60/kg, and thick leggings at $0.58/kg. These bales are ideal for colder regions or budget-focused wholesalers looking to maximize weight per container.

Practical takeaways
- Maximize container weight on dense items. For jeans, shoes, and winter coats, prioritize 90kg bales to reach the 28-ton container limit and reduce per-kg freight costs.
- Match grade to your market. A-grade summer T-shirts at $1.40/kg suit retail boutiques, while B-grade at $0.51/kg works for open-air markets and budget wholesalers.
- Plan freight before committing. Freight rates vary significantly by destination and season. Confirm rates with your forwarder before finalizing bale quantities.
