Custom Underwear for the Latin American Market in Recycled Polyester (rPET) with DTG Digital Printing for Latin American E-commerce Sellers

Custom Underwear for the Latin American Market — Recycled Polyester (rPET) with DTG Digital Printing

We supply underwear to latin american buyers built for coastal resort humidity. Cloth weight, weave openness and colour fastness are specified for the climate first: Recycled Polyester (rPET) at 90-120 gsm, shade-matched to hold through Christmas and holiday retail. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style per colour and ship to Santos.

The failures here are predictable: inconsistent sizing between production runs, and long lead times that miss the selling season. We lock the specification before bulk — weight, shrinkage, stitch density and tolerance — and prepare the conformity documents for Brazil so containers clear instead of accruing demurrage while Christmas and holiday retail passes.

Import, duty and delivery

Mercosur NCM classification with Spanish or Portuguese labelling is arranged before the goods leave the factory. We ship to Santos with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin. 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

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard programmes start at 300 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.

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.

Do you provide compliance documents?

We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for GRS recycled content claim, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.

A first prototype is typically ready in 10 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 4 days each.
