Hello Donald,
I was able to find a good source for answering the 2nd part of the exercise.
This is mainly for US imports.
This is a paid site, but provides a 7 day free trial, with the following restrictions -
One gets to visit only 5 company profiles and export the shipment search results for 5 companies.
So, one has to be prudent in how they use. Off course, if one can afford and feel they do get value addition they can pay for the $99/mth basic plan… 
Anyways, as @Value_Seeker had rightly requested for more clarity on KCL customer base, i thought i would cover the low-hanging fruit.
After adding the Infant filter
KGL
Couple of observations from above:
- Big-bang shipments from Q3CY10 where the scorching pace is maintained till Q3CY11.
- Similar growth rates resumed from Q4CY14 till Q2CY16.
After adding the filter for infant, we find that:
- Jockey is not available, as it should rightly be so.
Other observations:
- In both the charts, we find Fruit of the Loom and Carter’s is missing for KGL.
- Also, the new client Children’s Place seems to be catered to by KCL, as was Carter’s in 2013-14.
- Mystifying why Bank of America is listed as client from 2010-13. But it could explain for the missing Fruit of Loom data.
- Mothercare data is not available with panjiva portal.
- Kohl’s does not seem to have received any shipment yet from either KCL/KGL. (TBC)
Below excel contains the last 2 YTD data for both KCL and KGL.
Kitex Exports to US_Last 2 years.xlsx (95.5 KB)
Overall it looks a good source and can be used to validate the exports for other textile co.s and US exporting firms.
Best Corp does not seem to have any infant related shipments.
