Clothing
Wholesale Used Clothing DR Congo — Credential Clothing, Mixed Rags, Institutional and Sorted Bales
Congolese importers, sorting floors and wholesale buyers source secondhand clothing from Toro Textile Recycling by the container. Our clothing program covers credential clothing (original clothing, untouched and unsorted since donation), mixed rags and institutional clothing from US thrift retail surplus, sorted item clothing graded A, B and C by garment type and gender, and used linens — bedding, towels, blankets and curtains.
All goods are bought at source in the United States from thrift stores, charitable organizations and private collectors, then graded and baled in Houston, Texas for export to DR Congo. If you are importing used clothing to DR Congo for the first time, say so and we will walk you through grades, bale weights, documentation and freight rather than sending a price list.
Footwear
Wholesale Used Shoes DR Congo — Credential Shoes, Sorted, Graded and Single Shoes
Secondhand footwear is a business of its own here, not a by-product of the clothing trade. We supply credential shoes collected straight from donation drives and never picked over, raw institutional mixed shoes sold in bulk by the pound, sorted and graded shoes paired and banded in Grade A, Grade B and Grade C, and single shoes for buyers who pair in their own market. Athletic, dress, children's, ladies' and sandals.
Shoes are bagged, packed in capsacks or loaded in gaylord boxes rather than baled with clothing, because a baling press damages footwear. Wholesale used shoes for DR Congo can travel in the same 40 ft container as your clothing order.

DR Congo FAQ
Buying Wholesale Used Clothing and Used Shoes for DR Congo
Do you export used clothing bales to DR Congo?
Yes. We ship credential clothing, mixed rags, institutional clothing and sorted item bales from Houston, Texas to Dar es Salaam by the 40 ft high-cube container, and by the pallet for buyers consolidating with other cargo.
What is credential clothing, and is it available for DR Congo?
Credential clothing — also called original clothing — is secondhand clothing sold exactly as donated: unopened, unsorted, un-culled and ungraded. It is available for DR Congo by the container and is the product buyers with their own sorting floor usually want.
Can I import used shoes and used clothing in the same container?
Yes. Combined loads of clothing, shoes, toys, housewares and store returns travel in one container to DR Congo. Shoes are packed separately from clothing bales because baling damages footwear.
Do you supply Congolese buyers directly, or through an agent?
Directly. One contact from first inquiry to arrival, reachable on WhatsApp in English, Spanish and French. Most buyers hear back the same working day.
