So far as the top exporting countries are concerned, China is still leading the charts with whopping 133.13 million pcs in 2015 while Mexico ranks second with 110.02 million pcs. China is able to give an average price of about US$ 7.52 while Mexico\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s average price is US$8.74. However, considering that there is no import duty on imports of garments from Mexico (made with US fabrics); the price will come out more or less same. But China gives much more fashionable products to US than Mexico \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which is focused on basics. Bangladesh ranks 3rd with the lowest average price per jeans which is merely US$6.53. Pakistan comes 4the<\/sup> with a total of about 21 million pcs and Vietnam is at 5th with total export quantity of 19.13 million pcs at an average price of US$8.48.  It needs to be seen where the share of China will spill off once the country is not able to export as much it used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

There are many regions and blocs which can be studied as a group to analyse which region is more important for exporting denim to US. Some of the main regions are Latin America, Asean, Agoa , Cafta etc. We analyse the figures from these countries as below.<\/p>\n

Latin America is the highest contributor in the total import to the USA with total import quantity of 135.91 million pcs followed by ASEAN, AGOA and CAFTA with 48.74, 22.27 and 20.7 million pcs. Latin America \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the main component is Mexico which takes the lion\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s share of its exports. Among ASEAN countries, Vietnam is very important. AGOA still remains a small quantity and has not evolved over time despite duty benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
