2nd panel discussion on Day-2 of ASW aims to address the critical issue of Ease of fashion Imports
| The burgeoning demand of the retail sector has led to increased imports…In the last five years, imports into India have increased by around 82%. Nevertheless, there still are a large number of issues that need attention. Be it related to customs duty, legal documentation, lead time, logistics, etc, fashion imports to India have to encounter a maze of challenges before making it to the fashion retail market. |
| Add to these the Government’s recent move to increase basic customs duty on readymade garments from 10% to 20% besides the ad valorem rate of duty for certain items. |
| Apparel Sourcing Week’s much-anticipated panel discussion titled Ease of fashion Imports - Steer your way through logistics, banking, customs and visa, with its wellinformed line up of panellists who are the professionals and experts handling imports and exports, will identify and address these pain-points while also providing advice to manufacturers looking at working with India on the Dos and Don’ts of exporting to the country besides touching upon the key issues of logistics, banking and customs. |
| Slated between 14:30pm – 15:25pm on Day-2 of the event, the panel discussion will be moderated by Mr. Amit Mishra, AVP and Head Sourcing - Technical Services and Quality Assurance of Pantaloons, who is considered as an ingenious and collaborative professional with integrated expertise in apparel product sourcing, cost engineering, consulting, manufacturing, quality assurance, industrial engineering (GSD), across varied product streams and geographies. |
