We publish cost ranges rather than hiding them. Your final CMT price depends on stitch structure, yarn, gauge and order volume — here's how those factors interact for a Ghanaian programme.
We don't publish a single price list because knitwear pricing doesn't work that way. A 3-gauge chunky cable pullover and a 12-gauge WHOLEGARMENT seamless base layer require different machines, different machine time, different yarn weights, and different linking labor — their CMT costs are genuinely different. What we can do is give you the cost ranges by construction type, and explain what moves your piece up or down within that range. And before we go further: there is no tariff advantage over China importing into Ghana — finished knitwear clears under the ECOWAS Common External Tariff at roughly 20% plus levies whether it ships from Turkey or China. Our case is quality, WHOLEGARMENT capability and an English-speaking partner, not cheaper duty.
All prices are CMT only (cut, make, trim — labor and overhead). Yarn cost is separate and depends entirely on fiber, count, and market price at time of order. These are 2025–2026 ranges; actual quotes depend on your specific brief.
$8–14 CMT
Fully-fashioned flat-knit, 7–12gg, single stitch structure (jersey, 1×1 rib). Standard linking. Low complexity. Typical for cotton basics and entry-price merino programs.
$14–22 CMT
Cable, jacquard, intarsia or structural texture. More machine programming, slower throughput, tighter QC. Mid-range merino, premium cotton, and wool-blend programs.
$18–30 CMT
Single-piece 3D knit on Shima Seiki. Slower per-unit throughput than panel construction. No linking cost. Best for premium, next-to-skin, and sustainability-positioned programs.
$12–20 CMT
Heavier yarn, larger loop structures. Slower machine throughput at low gauge despite visual simplicity. Typical for outerwear-weight sweaters, cardigans and chunky knit dresses.
$80–180 including shipping to Ghana. One colorway, one size. Yarn may be substituted (closest available) if your specified yarn is not in stock. Turnaround: 10–14 days from tech pack approval.
$120–250 depending on construction. Production-spec yarn, production-spec construction. For wholesale showroom or buyer meetings in Accra. Turnaround: 14–21 days from proto sign-off.
$60–100 per additional size from the first approved sample. For fit approval across your size run before bulk production. Recommended for fitted constructions and washed garments.
Included in bulk orders. One unit produced at the start of bulk to confirm production line matches approved samples. Standard practice; no additional charge.
Your CMT and FOB numbers are only part of the picture. In Ghana, finished knitwear clears through ICUMS (UNIPASS), with standards oversight from the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) and duty assessed by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). Finished knitwear sits under the ECOWAS Common External Tariff at roughly 20%, on top of which sit VAT, NHIL, GETFund and the COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy — so the effective landed rate runs above the headline duty. Chinese-origin goods carry the same charge, so there is no tariff advantage over China; what differs is quality, WHOLEGARMENT capability and a partner you can deal with in English. We quote FOB in USD; your final landed cost in GHS (Cedi) moves with the exchange rate at clearance.
Samples are paid in full before production. Bulk orders are typically 30% deposit on order confirmation, 70% balance before shipment (T/T bank transfer). We work with existing clients on net terms once a track record is established. We quote FOB in USD and also accept EUR. Payments are made to a Turkish bank account (Garanti BBVA), and your cost in GHS (Cedi) depends on the prevailing rate. We provide a pro forma invoice before any payment.
Ghana's textile heritage — GTP, Akosombo, the kente printing and weaving tradition — is a different category to flat-knit sweaters. Those are woven and printed fabrics; we produce in-house flat-knit and fully fashioned knitwear, including WHOLEGARMENT seamless construction on our 15 Shima Seiki and 7 Stoll machines. We complement local woven-print strength rather than compete with it, and we give Ghanaian brands a credible China+1 alternative: premium quality, an English-speaking partner, a stable supply route from Gaziantep, and ocean shipping from Mersin to the Port of Tema (and Takoradi where preferred) in roughly 10–14 days.

Get in touch →No, and we are open about it. There is no free trade agreement between Turkey and Ghana. Finished knitwear enters under the ECOWAS Common External Tariff at roughly 20%, plus the usual levies — VAT, NHIL, GETFund and the COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy — which push the effective landed rate above the headline duty. Chinese-origin knitwear pays the same, so there is no tariff advantage over China. Our value is quality, WHOLEGARMENT capability, an English-speaking partner and a credible China+1 alternative — not cheaper duty.
CMT covers cut, make and trim — the labour and overhead of producing the garment. Yarn is quoted separately because its cost depends entirely on fibre, count and market price at the time of your order. We publish CMT ranges by construction type so you can budget realistically, then confirm yarn options and a firm number once we have your gauge and stitch structure.
Our MOQ is 250 units per colour, per size, including WHOLEGARMENT, which covers machine setup, programming and material efficiency. Samples have no minimum — proto and salesman samples are single units. Proto samples run roughly $80–180 including shipping to Ghana; salesman samples roughly $120–250 depending on construction. Volume discounts open up above 1,000 units per colour.
We quote FOB in USD (we also accept EUR). Bulk orders are typically 30% deposit on confirmation and 70% balance before shipment by T/T bank transfer to a Turkish bank account, with a pro forma invoice issued first. Your landed cost in GHS (Cedi) depends on the prevailing exchange rate at the time of clearance through ICUMS.
