Logistics as Leverage

Closer. Faster. No duty.

Where a textile is woven decides what it costs to land. Two sources, direct to you — woven in the Americas and in Egypt, both positioned for the way the Americas actually buy.

CAFTA-DR
Qualifying Guatemala goods enter the U.S. duty-free

Guatemala's export ports connect direct to U.S. East Coast and Gulf ports: Miami in 3–5 days, no transoceanic routing. Qualifying textiles ship under CAFTA-DR, entering the U.S. duty-free. Our Egyptian sheeting takes its own clean lane — out of Alexandria, across the Mediterranean and open Atlantic, never touching Suez, the Red Sea, or the Panama Canal.

The answer

Two mills, each chosen for what it does best.

Corriss specifies; the mills weave; Corriss manages.

CAFTA-DR

Guatemala towels enter the U.S. under CAFTA-DR — a near-shore trade lane built for speed and cost.

Caribbean Direct*

Shipped Guatemala-to-island, goods never touch U.S. customs — no U.S. import duty on Caribbean delivery.

Near-shore Lead Times

Weaving in the Americas means weeks, not the months of a trans-Pacific supply chain.

Duty-Free

Egyptian bed linen ships duty-free into the United States.

* No U.S. import duty on direct Caribbean delivery. Does not include any import duties, tariffs, or fees levied by the individual destination country.

Landed cost

Compare landed cost, not unit price.

The cheapest line on a quote sheet is rarely the cheapest linen in service. We'll compare your current program — freight, timing, emergency exposure, replacement — against a closer lane, and show you the real delivered cost.

For Caribbean properties

Direct to your island. No U.S. duty in the price.

Shipped direct from our Guatemala mill to the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Aruba, the Dominican Republic, and other Caribbean destinations, Corriss linens never enter U.S. customs — so there’s no U.S. import duty in what you pay. Buy the same goods through a U.S. distributor and that duty is already built into the case price.

Destination-country duties apply separately and are confirmed with your customs broker per shipment.
