Buying clothing & apparel from China

Written from the sourcing work we do, not from the suppliers listed above.

How do you tell a real manufacturer from a trading company?
Count sewing lines and ask the operator headcount, then ask who knits or weaves the fabric. Most garment suppliers are cut-make-trim shops buying fabric outside, which is workable but changes who controls your quality.
What certification is needed to import clothing & apparel into the EU or US?
The EU restricts azo dyes, nickel release and other substances under REACH. The US requires FTC fibre-content and care labelling and applies flammability rules under 16 CFR 1610, with a much stricter standard for children’s sleepwear.
What order minimums and tooling costs should I expect?
Usually 300–1,000 pieces per style per colour, and it is the fabric dye lot — commonly 500–1,000 metres — that sets the floor, not the sewing.
What goes wrong most often in this category?
Fabric substitution, shrinkage and poor colour fastness after washing. Approve a bulk fabric swatch from the actual dye lot; approving only the sample garment leaves the fabric unspecified.
