Boxing Gloves Manufacturer for the USA — Direct from a Sialkot Factory, Shipped to Any State in 5–8 Days
The wholesale price of a quality boxing glove manufactured in Sialkot is roughly one-third of what a US gym retail-buys the same glove for. Most of the spread is brand and distribution margin — exporter, US importer, regional distributor, retailer. Sourcing direct from the factory removes those layers. For a US gym ordering 100 pairs of branded gloves, the saving versus a domestic distributor typically lands between 40% and 60%.
Oxfit Sports manufactures wholesale boxing gloves and combat-sports equipment in Sialkot, Pakistan and ships direct to US addresses via DHL Express in 5–8 working days. We supply boxing gyms, MMA academies, CrossFit boxes, sports retailers, e-commerce stores, and private-label brands across all 50 states.
Why US Buyers Source from Sialkot
Pakistan manufactures roughly 70–80% of the world’s hand-stitched boxing gloves. Most “premium” gloves on US retail shelves were stitched in Sialkot regardless of the brand label. Sourcing direct lets you keep the manufacturing quality without paying for the brand premium — or put your own brand on the glove (private label) and capture that margin yourself.
Three operational reasons US buyers settle on Sialkot:
- Quality-to-price ratio. Full-grain cowhide leather and multi-layer foam padding at price points that beat US distributor wholesale.
- Air-freight infrastructure. Sialkot has its own international airport with direct DHL and FedEx pickup — orders move from our factory to a US depot in 5–8 working days without an inland transfer to Karachi or Lahore first.
- Established export experience. We ship to US buyers regularly. Our team knows the documentation US customs brokers expect (HTS codes, commercial invoice format, country-of-origin certificate) — your CBP clearance won’t get held up on missing paperwork.
What US Buyers Order Most
Gym-chain stock gloves (12oz, 14oz, 16oz)
Unbranded or lightly branded gloves for members. Standard cowhide or Maya Hide leather depending on price-point. Typical US gym order: 80–200 pairs across the three weights at roughly a 30/40/30 split.
CrossFit & functional fitness gear
Bag-mitt gloves and lighter open-finger options for CrossFit boxes whose members work bags as part of conditioning. These are bought in tighter quantities (50–100 pairs) but reorder consistently.
MMA academy kits
Open-finger MMA gloves (4oz–7oz) plus shin guards and rash guards as bundled package orders. The 6oz and 7oz sparring weights move fastest with US MMA gyms running mixed-discipline programmes.
Private-label retail
Custom branded gloves, shorts, head guards with custom Pantone colors and embroidered/debossed logos. Popular with online retailers selling on Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and direct-to-consumer storefronts.
Youth boxing programme stock
4oz–8oz gloves sized to USA Boxing’s youth recommendations. Smaller palm size, lighter padding, softer materials. Ordered by martial arts schools, YMCA-affiliated programmes, and amateur boxing clubs.
Shipping to US Addresses
We ship to all 50 states plus Puerto Rico, Guam, and US Virgin Islands. Three options depending on order size:
| Mode | Transit time | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| DHL Express | 5–8 working days | Orders up to ~500 pairs (default choice) |
| FedEx International Priority | 5–9 working days | Alternative when DHL capacity is constrained |
| Sea freight (port-to-port) | 30–40 days | Orders of 500+ pairs into Los Angeles, Long Beach, New York, Newark, Miami, or Seattle |
Every US shipment includes commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and bill of lading. Most boxing equipment falls under HTS 9506.99 — we provide the codes on request and your customs broker will clear the consignment with the documentation we issue.
US Customs and Duty — What to Expect
Boxing-glove imports from Pakistan to the US are subject to standard MFN duty rates plus a Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) of approximately 0.3464% of cargo value (minimum ~$31, maximum ~$614 per entry). Specific HTS-9506 categories have varied historical rates — we recommend confirming current applicable duty with your customs broker before placing a large order. There is no federal sales tax in the US, but most states will charge state/local sales tax on the import value if you’re a registered reseller (typically reclaimable).
For California shipments specifically, certain product categories require Proposition 65 warning labels if they contain materials on the state’s chemical disclosure list. We can supply Prop 65-compliant packaging or labelling on request.
Compliance for the US Market
- USA Boxing youth specifications — followed for junior glove sizing.
- State athletic-commission rules for amateur and semi-professional competition glove construction (varies by state — California, Nevada, New York, Florida have the strictest specs).
- CPSC compliance for any product that crosses into juvenile-product categories (children’s protective gear).
- Prop 65 compliant labelling available on request for California shipments.
- Documentation: we provide testing certificates and pre-shipment inspection reports if your buyer or compliance team requires them.

- Sea freight to NY / LA: Oxfit ships Karachi → US East Coast or West Coast in 35-45 days transit. We work with carriers that publish reliable schedule data so US importers can plan inventory.
