Apparel & knitwear 服装与针织
Guangdong runs the full apparel chain: fabric from Guangzhou's Zhongda market, knitwear from Dalang in Dongguan, underwear from Chaoyang/Chaonan in Shantou and Yanbu in Foshan, womenswear from Shenzhen. Codes below are 6-digit HS (国际通用 6 位) — the 8-digit Chinese export code subdivides within these headings.
Why this group: low unit value, high freight-to-value ratio and heavy certification and social-audit requirements — exactly the kind of multi-factory, multi-SKU consolidation this company exists to do. Destination markets with strong demand: Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe.

Certifications & audits that apply
Apparel runs on a different set of requirements from electrical goods: social-compliance audits and chemical testing, not type approval. Ask us which of these a given factory already holds — it changes the factory shortlist and the lead time.

|---|---|---|
| OEKO-TEX Standard 100 | 有害物质检测 | Harmful-substance testing on finished textiles; many EU buyers require it |

Buyer questions
What is the HS code for T-shirts & knit tops (T恤与针织上衣)?
6109.10 (6-digit HS). Codes are used for customs classification and for duty calculation in your market; if your broker uses a different heading, tell us and we will quote against that one.
Do you manufacture T-shirts & knit tops?
No. We are a sourcing and supply-chain consolidation company in Shenzhen — we are not a manufacturer and we carry no catalogue. You send the specification; we find and verify the factories, arrange samples and third-party inspection, consolidate one shipment and handle the export documentation.
What is the MOQ (minimum order quantity) for T-shirts & knit tops?
MOQ is set by the factory and varies by model, packing and whether the item is already in production. We do not publish a number before we have asked, and we do not quote one we cannot hold. Send the specification and the MOQ comes back with the factory options.
What is the lead time for T-shirts & knit tops?
Confirmation depends on the factory, the model, and whether tooling or certification work is needed. It is quoted together with the factory options. Give us the date you need it by — that is more useful than asking for a generic number, because it lets us tell you whether it is achievable.
Which certifications does T-shirts & knit tops need?
Fabric and garment work runs on social-compliance audits and chemical testing, not electrical type approval: OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (harmful substances), BSCI / Sedex SMETA / WRAP (factory audit), GOTS or GRS for organic or recycled claims, REACH for the EU, CPSIA for children's wear. Tell us the destination market and we tell you which of these the factory already holds.
Can I get samples of T-shirts & knit tops?
Yes. Samples are at our cost for the first round. We send them before any trial order, and we tell you which factory each sample came from so you are comparing real options, not a blended average.
Where in China is T-shirts & knit tops made, and what specification range is typical?
Main Guangdong cluster: 广州 / 东莞. Typical range for this category: Cotton or CVC/BLEND, 120–220 gsm, S–3XL, screen / digital / embroidery. That range is what the cluster normally builds — if you need something outside it, say so early, because it usually means tooling or a different cluster.
What are the payment terms and Incoterms?
EXW, FOB Shenzhen or CIF. Payment is 30% deposit with the balance against a copy of the Bill of Lading, or as agreed. For a first order we deliberately keep the trial small.
Can T-shirts & knit tops be consolidated with other items in one container?
Yes — that is the main reason to use us. Fifteen low-value items from twelve factories arriving together, with one party accountable when something is wrong. Poles, racks and junction boxes we will tell you to buy locally, because they are mostly air in a container.
