If you want to expand your range with high-quality and fashionable outerwear, wholesale jackets from China are one of the most promising directions. Chinese exports are always on trend, offering a huge variety of models — from light windbreakers to warm down jackets. Our company, DiFFreight, is ready to be your reliable guide in procurement, handling supplier search in China, legal matters, and delivery. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the jacket market and prices, and also explain the most profitable ways to deliver the goods to you.

Chinese jackets wholesale — how to deliver without delays and at the lowest price?

Efficient delivery from China to Ukraine is the key to your business success. DiFFreight experts offer optimal logistics solutions that guarantee speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The delivery method depends on the shipment volume, urgency, and your budget.

Sea freight (cargo/container shipping)

Down jackets are often ordered via sea freight. It’s the most cost-effective method for large shipments — suitable for bulky and non-urgent goods (average duration 35–50 days). 

Since down jackets take up a lot of space, high-quality vacuum or compression packaging is needed. This helps optimize volume and reduce shipping costs.

Air freight

If time is a priority, this method is better. Ideal for urgent orders, test batches (e.g., for design review), or restocking bestsellers. Transit time — 7 to 14 days.

Compared to sea freight, this is more expensive. We recommend it for express delivery, small batches, and exclusive collections.

Warehouse services

In addition to delivery, we provide warehousing services, which include:

  • cargo consolidation at the warehouse — combining batches from different suppliers into one container to save costs;
  • quality inspection — independent inspection at the warehouse, where the selected model is checked for defects, size compliance, and other parameters; this also includes a photo/video report and item count before shipping;
  • additional packaging — in order to deliver jackets from China in bulk, they must be properly packed to protect from moisture and damage during transit, which is especially important for bulky models;
  • labeling — to ensure smooth customs clearance;
  • cost optimization — we select the most efficient route and delivery method, taking into account specifics and deadlines;
  • customs clearance — our team of experienced brokers ensures legal import without delays or fines;
  • cargo insurance — all jackets shipped in bulk will be insured throughout the entire transportation route.

Choosing DiFFreight means choosing reliability, transparency, and professionalism. Your down jackets and windbreakers will arrive on time without overpayments.

Comparison of jacket prices in China and Ukraine

Buying directly from China offers noticeable price advantages over Ukrainian market equivalents. This is due to scale, raw material availability, and lower labor costs. Here's a rough price comparison to show potential savings for your business.

Jacket type Price in China (wholesale, per unit) Price in Ukraine (wholesale, per unit)
Lightweight windbreaker $5 — $15 $15 — $35
Demi-season $10 — $30 $30 — $70
Winter jacket $20 — $60 $60 — $150
Down jacket $25 — $80 $80 — $200
Specialized (sports, membrane) $30 — $100 $90 — $250

The prices are approximate and may vary significantly depending on material quality, fittings, tailoring complexity, factory brand, order volume, and current market conditions. Final cost includes shipping, customs duties, and taxes. A price difference of 2–3 times shows that outerwear wholesale from China is more profitable, allowing for a more favorable markup.

Why Wholesale Jackets from China Are Profitable with Direct Procurement

In the Ukrainian textile market, there are hundreds of intermediaries who have already imported jackets, down coats, and windbreakers from China. It may seem easier to buy ready-made products instead of spending time and resources on negotiations, purchasing, and transportation. However, direct cooperation with China is far more profitable:

  • Minimal supplier markup/factory price. Entrepreneurs pay only for the product, which allows them to set their own profit margin. When buying from intermediaries, the markup can be double or even triple, making it impossible to compete with those who work directly.
  • Customization options. In China, you can order a batch with your own cut, add details (pockets, zippers, patches), apply your logo, or entrust the factory with tailoring according to your design. This helps products stand out among competitors.
  • Quality control. By purchasing wholesale jackets from China directly, you can establish your own quality standards and filter out defects, faulty designs, or unsuitable models.

Stability and long-term business relations. Most Chinese wholesalers are ready to cooperate every season, offering new collections and trendy models first to their partners.

What jackets are not shipped from China?

With DiFFreight, you can buy jackets from China quickly and profitably, but we follow principles of “white” customs clearance and legal import. That's why we don’t transport certain product categories to protect our clients from risks. Buyers should be aware of prohibited items:

  • Items with military camouflage / Chinese army symbols. Importing clothing imitating military uniforms or containing military symbols of any country (especially China) is a sensitive issue. These items may be considered as fake uniforms or provocative goods.
  • Products made of natural fur from protected animals. The CITES convention strictly regulates or prohibits trade in goods derived from endangered species. While most jackets use synthetic insulation, importing real fur from rare animals or exotic leathers requires separate certification and permits.
  • Counterfeits with branded logos. Down jackets from China are often produced as replicas of famous global brands. This violates intellectual property rights and may lead to confiscation, fines, or even legal action.

DiFFreight strongly opposes counterfeit shipping. We promote cooperation with manufacturers who offer products under their own trademarks (yours or Chinese), or under official licenses. We help you find reputable factories.

Start with a test batch of jackets from China and check the quality

If you’re looking for quality kids', men's, women’s or sports jackets — China wholesale or retail can meet this need. We work with minimum orders (test batches) to evaluate supplier reliability and quality, as well as with large shipments.

Partnering with DiFFreight means not only well-organized logistics, but also full support during procurement, quality checks, and warehousing in China. Our experience and full-cycle services make delivery as transparent and secure as possible.
