Vintage Carhartt wholesale — Sweden

Air freight into Stockholm runs 6–12 days for smaller lots; sea freight via Gothenburg is cheaper per piece above 50 pieces but adds four to six weeks.

Sweden applies 25% import VAT on goods entering the EU, plus customs duty on used clothing above the EU threshold. The EU has been phasing out its low-value exemptions, with a transitional duty applying from July 2026, so budget for VAT plus duty on any order. The courier or PostNord collects before delivery, usually with a handling fee. For bulk this is simpler than it sounds — one freight entry rather than many small parcels each attracting handling fees.

Sweden has one of Europe's most mature second-hand cultures — Stockholm's Södermalm, Gothenburg and Malmö all have established vintage stores, and Tradera and Sellpy sit alongside Vinted. Workwear is a year-round staple; lined jackets and double knees sell strongly from September to April.
