Fashion companies looking to export to Europe from plan to successful sales will now be handheld through the International Apparel Federation’s (IAF) just-launched ‘Gateway to Europe’, a comprehensive export support solution.
- This full-service solution covers marketing and sales, logistics and fulfilment, customs and VAT, financial organisation and compliance and regulations.
- Powered by IAF’s services partner Greenway Logistics, it offers an ideal instrument for associations to add value to their membership.
- Gateway to Europe partners with national fashion industry associations and develops and runs a plug-and-play service that associations can offer to their members.
- It will be able to support fashion companies through a network of specialists selected for their proven track record and specialisation in the industry.
- Gateway to Europe will enable fashion and sports industry associations to help their members to expand their businesses.
- It will host a webinar next month for members of the Canadian Apparel Federation. Other non-EU countries will follow soon.
WHY? Cross-continental export of fashion is a complex operation. And only when knowledge of marketing, the ability to find the right agent or distributor, the knowledge and network to actually deliver the products at the right time at the lowest possible (fiscal) costs within the framework of a complex web of laws are combined, it is possible to do so successfully.
- Gateway to Europe is uniquely positioned to work within the context of IAF’s industry association members from all over the world.
