Problem
What to Do: You will manufacture your new line of high-end clothing using a combination of supplies you import from abroad and buy here in Canada. Your needs may include fabric such as organic cotton, high quality wool, silk, organza, linen, and leather; notions such as thread, buttons, and zippers; and trims such as ribbons, lace, and beading. i. Make a list of supplies you will need. ii. Go online and search for vendors, both national and international. .
Answer the following questions:
1) Which parts/supplies/inventory can be provided by international vendors?
2) Are there any import/custom/tariff considerations?
3) What is the potential for disruption of your supply chain (due to political, climate, or other factors)?
4) For what supplies does is make more sense to use Canadian sources.
