Caps assortment guide for Uganda
Most purchasing runs through wholesale importers and market traders who break cartons down for small shops, so durable fabrics and clear size ratios matter more than fashion detail. Sun-protective caps, trucker caps and bucket hats are high-volume, low-cost lines for wholesale and promotion.
Orders cluster ahead of the school year, Christmas and the main festival periods, and container lead times mean buyers plan three to four months before the selling window. Cartons are usually packed in balanced S to XXL runs, with kids' lines sold by age band.
caps for Uganda ships from Mundra or Kandla and discharges at Mombasa / Dar es Salaam, about 12–22 days at sea. Because garments pack by carton count rather than weight, we plan the container by volume and keep footwear apart from fabric cartons.
