Ready One is a clothing manufacturer for Norwegian brands, producing custom apparel for labels selling across Norway and the wider Scandinavian market. Based in Sialkot, Pakistan, the factory holds ISO 9001:2015, BSCI, and SEDEX certifications and ships all orders DDP to Norwegian addresses — covering Norwegian customs duty, VAT (25%), and last-mile delivery to the brand’s nominated Norwegian address in the quoted price. Founded in 2012, Ready One has served Norwegian brands for 14+ years.
Furthermore, Norway sits outside the European Union but inside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Schengen Area. This means Norwegian brands importing from Pakistan face Norwegian Customs (Tolletaten) processing rather than EU customs. Ready One’s logistics team handles Norwegian import clearance directly, so Norwegian brands receive DDP shipments without needing a customs broker or freight forwarder. As a result, the process is as straightforward for Norwegian brands as it is for EU-based brands.
Ready One is a custom clothing manufacturer based in Sialkot, Pakistan, founded in 2012. With 14+ years of experience, the company has served over 1,000 brands across 40+ countries. ISO 9001, BSCI, and SEDEX certified. Factory size: 25,000 sq ft. Monthly capacity: 100,000–150,000 units. MOQ from 50 units. DDP worldwide shipping.
Why Norwegian Brands Choose Ready One as Their Clothing Manufacturer
Norwegian clothing brands share Scandinavia’s deep commitment to sustainable and ethical sourcing. Norway’s Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven), which came into force in 2022, requires larger Norwegian companies to conduct due diligence on human rights and decent work conditions throughout their supply chains. Ready One’s SEDEX and BSCI certifications directly support Norwegian brands in meeting these due diligence obligations. Moreover, for Norwegian startup and growth-stage brands, these certifications provide a credible ethical sourcing story that resonates with Norwegian consumers.
Norway’s Transparency Act and Supply Chain Due Diligence
The Norwegian Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven) applies to larger Norwegian companies and requires them to publish annual due diligence reports covering their supply chains. Specifically, the Act covers fundamental human rights and decent working conditions throughout the value chain — not just direct suppliers. Ready One’s BSCI audit score of 9.5/10 and SEDEX membership provide the independently verified documentation that Norwegian brands need when reporting on their manufacturing partners. Furthermore, Ready One makes full audit documentation available to Norwegian clients on request, simplifying the annual reporting process.
Norwegian Customs and VAT on Imported Garments
Norway applies its own customs tariff on imported garments, separate from EU rates. Pakistani-origin garments enter Norway under Norway’s GSP scheme for developing countries, which provides reduced or zero duty rates on most apparel categories. In addition, Norwegian VAT (25%) is applied to all imported goods. Ready One’s DDP quotes for Norway include the Norwegian customs duty calculation, VAT, and Norwegian Customs clearance — so Norwegian brands receive a confirmed total landed cost at the quoting stage.
What Ready One Manufactures for Norwegian Brands
Ready One produces a comprehensive range of apparel categories suited to the Norwegian market’s outdoor-active and Scandinavian-minimalist aesthetic. Norway’s cold climate makes heavyweight fleece, insulated outerwear, and performance activewear particularly strong categories. Furthermore, the factory’s garment manufacturing services cover technical performance fabrics as well as casualwear and streetwear — giving Norwegian brands a single supplier across all product categories.
Popular Categories for Norwegian Brands
- Heavyweight hoodies and sweatshirts — 340–400 GSM fleece and French terry
- Outdoor and performance jackets — windbreaker, shell, padded
- Activewear and sportswear — recycled polyester leggings, shorts, base layers
- Tracksuits and coordinated sets — French terry and performance fabric
- T-shirts — organic cotton, oversized, heavyweight jersey
- Joggers — heavyweight fleece, tapered and wide-leg
- Polo shirts — organic pique cotton
In addition, organic cotton and recycled polyester compositions are available for Norwegian brands prioritising sustainability. Specifically, Norwegian consumers are among the world’s most environmentally conscious buyers, and brands that demonstrate verified sustainable sourcing — backed by Ready One’s SEDEX certification — gain a meaningful competitive advantage in the Norwegian market.
