Singapore hoodie dropship: climate-limited, then consolidate
SG hoodie dropship is climate-limited—better for light/AC use or export winter zones. Price air carefully and consolidate after proof.
Thick fleece is niche locally; light hoodies or export-oriented SKUs are more rational.
Flecustom path: dropship/micro test → consolidate small PO once demand is real.
Only premium IP/collabs can carry dropship freight—race-to-bottom hoodies don’t work from SG.
Return liability, duties, and neighbor-country compliance must be explicit—especially when SG is a hub.
