US & Brazil cotton · South Asia factories
Cotton, home textiles, and garments for mills and factories across South Asia.
AAZ Trading sources US and Brazilian cotton — Upland, Pima, BCI, and organic lots — and quotes home-textile and garment programs into Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka. Pakistan is a core market, not the only one.
What we quote
Cotton fiber from the Americas, plus home textiles and garments from the regional factory book.
Cotton
US Pima Cotton
Extra-long staple fiber for fine-count programs. Quoted to mill staple and micronaire, not a generic ELS label.

- USDA classing on US lots; equivalent classing data on Brazilian origin
- BCI and organic certificates when the mill's program requires them
- Sold into factories across South Asia — Pakistan is one market, not the only one
- Inspection (SGS / Intertek) and full lot identity before ocean freight
Where we sell
South Asia is the market. Pakistan is one of four.

Why AAZ Trading
Americas origin
Cotton fiber from the United States and Brazil — the two origins South Asian spinning mills actually put on the mix sheet.
South Asia factories
The Lahore desk sits with mills and factories across the region. Pakistan is a core market; Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka sit on the same book.
U.S. books
Contracts, collections, and audit trails sit in California, so a Karachi or Chittagong discharge is still a clean file.
One desk for origin, the contract, classing, documents, and the mill or factory that will take the goods.
The desk
Two operators. Americas origin and the South Asia mill floor.
