Can an Activewear Factory Retain Customer-Owned Fabric After an Order?

Customer-owned fabric retention requires agreed storage, ownership, release, and disposal conditions.

Commercial terms should identify the contracting entities, covered products, responsibilities, and evidence of approval. Rights and remedies depend on the applicable agreement and law, so avoid assuming that a customary industry practice automatically creates the protection needed for a particular cross-border manufacturing relationship. Reconcile remaining material after production.
