Custom Underwear for the Latin American Market in French Terry with Garment Dyeing for Andean School Uniform Programmes

Custom Underwear for the Latin American Market — French Terry with Garment Dyeing

We supply underwear to latin american buyers built for Mexican highland mild days. Cloth weight, weave openness and colour fastness are specified for the climate first: French Terry at 90-120 gsm, shade-matched to hold through the Brazilian summer selling window. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per colour and ship to Manzanillo or Veracruz.

The failures here are predictable: long lead times that miss the selling season, and packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable. We lock the specification before bulk — weight, shrinkage, stitch density and tolerance — and prepare the conformity documents for Mexico so containers clear instead of accruing demurrage while the Brazilian summer selling window passes.

Import, duty and delivery

Mercosur NCM classification with Spanish or Portuguese labelling is arranged before the goods leave the factory.

Import duty and tax in the region are high — landed cost including the NCM tariff line is quoted before you commit, and instalment-friendly production schedules are planned around retail cash flow.

FAQ

How is shipping handled?

We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.

How long does sampling take?

A first prototype is typically ready in 12 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 5 days each.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard programmes start at 500 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.

Can you match a specific colour?

Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.
