Sorting & Grading
Our Sorting and Grading process is the foundation of our premium product standards. We import credential clothing collection, sorting raw materials into detailed category mixes. Our experienced staff inspects items to ensure they meet our strict grading criteria:
- Grade A selection (excellent color, no stains, like-new quality)
- Grade B selection (minor wear, wearable clothing for budget markets)
- Clean, hand-sorted clothing, bags, shoes, and household linens
4 Star Used Clothing provides clear, documented grading criteria and sample bales on request, so buyers know exactly what each container contains before ordering.
