Tafric request data as of November 6, 2026
You can buy jeans wholesale from Turkey directly from the manufacturers and wholesalers that produce them: men's straight and slim jeans, ladies' boyfriend, wide leg and high-waist styles, cargo and baggy jeans, denim jackets, denim shorts and kids' jeans. This guide is for shop owners, market traders and resellers in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe and the rest of Africa: which styles to ask for, how Turkish sizes and series work, what drives the price and how to import.
Short answer
Write your request like a stock list: the styles you want, the size range, how many pieces or series per style, colours, and the city or port where you need the goods. Add the fabric you prefer (stretch or rigid, light or heavy) if you know it. Turkish suppliers can then send photos and prices for matching models.
Why Turkey jeans?
In Nigerian and Ghanaian markets "Turkey jeans" is already a quality label, and searches like "original turkey jeans price in Nigeria" show it. Turkey has a strong denim industry, from fabric mills to garment factories that also produce for European brands, so you get good cuts, durable fabric and new styles quickly. Compare honestly: China offers the widest range and the lowest entry prices, Bangladesh and Pakistan produce very large volumes, and Dubai traders resell goods from several origins with fast stock. Turkey is strongest when you want fit, fabric quality and current styles in mixed, smaller quantities.
Styles buyers ask for
| Style | Often requested | Tell the supplier |
|---|---|---|
| Men's jeans | Straight, slim fit, regular, stretch; blue, black, white | Waist sizes (for example 28-44), colours, rigid or stretch |
| Ladies' jeans | Boyfriend, wide leg, barrel, high waist | Sizes (EU 34-44 or S-XL), plus sizes, leg shape |
| Cargo and baggy | Men's and ladies' cargo, baggy, wide leg | Pocket style, colour, size range |
| Denim jackets and shorts | Men's, ladies' and kids' | Wash, sizes, quantities per model |
| Kids' jeans | 1-15 years, boys and girls | Age range per series |
Recent requests on Tafric show this mix: men's jeans in sizes 28 to 44 in Zambia and Kenya, boyfriend and wide-leg jeans in Zimbabwe and Nigeria, cargo and baggy jeans in Benin, Gabon and Togo, kids' jeans in Cameroon and Zimbabwe, and many shops ordering jeans together with T-shirts, polos and shirts.
How Turkish series and sizes work
Turkish wholesalers usually sell by series: one series is a pack with one piece of each size in a set range, for example sizes 30, 32, 34, 36 and 38. You choose the model and colour and order a number of series, so ask how many pieces are in a series, which sizes it includes and the minimum number of series per model. Men's jeans are sized by waist in inches; ladies' jeans in EU sizes or S-XL. If you want only certain sizes, or a mixed carton of several models, say so clearly in your request.
Turkish suppliers do not ship copies of famous brands, even if a brand name is in your request. Ask for the supplier's own brand or unbranded goods with your own label, and agree on labels and packaging before production.
What drives the price
No serious supplier can give one price for "jeans". The price depends on the fabric (weight in ounces, cotton and elastane content), the wash and finishing (rinse, stone wash, distressed), trims (buttons, rivets, zips, leather patch), the size range, the order quantity per model and the packaging. Ask for prices per piece and per series, the number of pieces per carton and carton size, and the delivery basis (FOB Istanbul or CFR to your port). Compare offers on the same fabric and wash, not just the headline price.
How to import jeans from Turkey, step by step
1) List the styles, sizes and quantities you need and post a free request. 2) Compare photos, fabric details and prices from the suppliers who contact you. 3) Ask for a sample or a small first order if it is your first purchase. 4) Agree on series, colours, labels, packaging, delivery basis, lead time and payment in writing. 5) Book freight with your forwarder and prepare your country's import documents. 6) Check the goods on arrival against the packing list.
Shipping, customs and country rules
Sea freight from Türkiye to West Africa usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks port to port, depending on the service and transhipment (direct sailings are at the short end); East and Southern Africa take longer via Suez. Ask your forwarder for the current schedule. Small orders can travel as LCL (shared container), and samples by air. In Nigeria, used clothing and certain fabrics (such as African print fabrics) are on the import prohibition list; ask your clearing agent to confirm the HS code and the current list for ready-made jeans before you pay. Other countries require pre-shipment documents, such as the electronic cargo tracking note in several West African countries and FERI in DR Congo.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy jeans wholesale in Turkey?

Instead of travelling, you can post a free request on Tafric and Turkish jeans suppliers contact you directly.
What is the price of original Turkey jeans in Nigeria?
It depends on the fabric, wash, style and quantity. Ask suppliers for prices per piece and per series with the same fabric details, then add freight, duty and local costs to compare with market prices in Lagos or Aba.
How many pieces are in a series of Turkish jeans?
A series usually contains one piece of each size in the range, for example five or six pieces. The exact sizes and the minimum number of series per model differ by supplier, so ask before you order.
Can I import jeans from Turkey to Nigeria?
Ready-made jeans are traded into Nigeria, but used clothing and certain fabrics (such as African print fabrics) are on the import prohibition list. Ask your clearing agent to confirm the HS code and the current list before you pay.
Can I mix sizes and styles in one order?
Many Turkish suppliers accept mixed cartons for a first order. Write the styles, sizes and colours you want in your request and ask the supplier how they can pack them.
How long does shipping from Turkey to Africa take?
By sea, about 2 to 4 weeks port to port to West Africa depending on the service and transhipment; longer to East and Southern Africa. Samples can go by air.
