We do not sell from stock and we publish no price list. You send the specification for this category; we return two or three named factory options with FOB pricing, MOQ, lead time and the certification your market requires.
What to send us
- Quantity per order and shipment frequency
- Target market, so we check the certification path first (see below)
- Voltage / plug type or fabric / size grading, depending on the category
- Packaging, labelling and any retail-compliance requirements
- Target FOB price, if you have one
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.
Factory audits & textile certifications

|---|---|---|
| OEKO-TEX Standard 100 | 有害物质检测 | Harmful-substance testing on finished textiles; many EU buyers require it |
| BSCI / Sedex SMETA / WRAP | 社会责任审核 | Factory social-compliance audit; larger EU and US buyers will not place orders without one |
| GOTS / GRS | 有机棉 / 再生材料认证 | Required for organic-cotton and recycled-polyester claims |
| REACH | 欧盟化学品法规 | Azo dyes, formaldehyde, NPEO limits for the EU market |
| CPSIA | 美国儿童产品安全 | Mandatory for children's apparel sold in the US |

Buyer questions
Straight answers — including the ones where the honest answer is "that depends on the factory".
What is the HS code for Socks & hosiery (袜子与针织袜类)?
6115.95 (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 Socks & hosiery?
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 Socks & hosiery?
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 We do not publish a number before we have asked, and we do not quote one we cannot hold.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 Socks & hosiery?
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 Socks & hosiery 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 Socks & hosiery?
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 Socks & hosiery made, and what specification range is typical?
Main Guangdong cluster: 佛山 / 汕头. Typical range for this category: Cotton / bamboo / recycled polyester, 96–200 needle circular knit. 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 Socks & hosiery 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.
