Answer 1

Answer:

  middlemen

Explanation:

The amount paid for a piece of clothing gets distributed among all of the people or companies that handle that clothing (and some that don't), including the retailer, wholesaler, transportation companies, import/export companies, customs and other government agencies, expediters, designers or other holders of intellectual property. The money goes to pay wages, fees, bribes, "protection", fuel and other utility costs, material costs, rent, interest, and amounts stolen or embezzled.
