How to ship custom activewear from China to the USA, UK, or Australia?

Choose the Right Method by Weight, Speed, and CostCustom activewear can be shipped from China by express courier, air freight, sea freight, or a combination. The right method depends on order size, urgency, destination, and budget.Express CourierSamples & Small Urgent OrdersDHL, FedEx, UPS. Door-to-door delivery, convenient and fast, but higher cost per kilogram. Best for sample shipments and small urgent production orders where speed outweighs freight cost.Air FreightTime-Sensitive ProductionSuitable for production orders and restocking. Final cost depends on chargeable weight, shipment dimensions, airport fees, customs clearance, and local delivery. Faster than sea, more economical than express for mid-size shipments.Sea FreightLarger Orders & EconomyMost economical for larger volumes. LCL (Less than Container Load) for smaller volumes; FCL (Full Container Load) when cargo fills a container. Transit time varies by ports, route, customs, and seasonal congestion.1 Confirm the Incoterm Before ShippingBefore shipping, the buyer and manufacturer should confirm the Incoterm—such as FOB, DAP, or DDP—because it determines who arranges transportation, clears customs, and pays duties and taxes. Different terms shift cost and risk at different points in the journey. Clarifying this upfront avoids disputes at delivery.2 Destination-Specific Import RequirementsUSARequires appropriate customs and textile documentation. Apparel shipments need accurate product classification, fiber content, and country-of-origin information per FTC and CBP requirements.UKImporters may need an EORI number and must manage applicable customs duty and import VAT. Post-Brexit customs formalities apply to shipments from China.AustraliaMay require GST payment and a formal import declaration, depending on shipment value. Self-Assessed Clearance (SAC) may apply for shipments under AUD 1,000. Shipping Coordination by Call The STYLEWe coordinate courier, air, and sea shipping and prepare supporting documents—commercial invoice, packing list, carton information, and product details. Final customs clearance should follow the importer’s and customs broker’s confirmed requirements.Request a Shipping Quote

How do you optimize carton sizes to reduce bulk shipping costs?

We reduce your logistics expenses through precise CBM (Cubic Meter) calculation. Once bulk production finishes, we engineer master carton dimensions to accurately fit your specific garment sizes and ratios. For key international routes—such as ocean freight to Sydney or Melbourne, Australia—this dimensional optimization maximizes pallet and container space, preventing you from "shipping air" and significantly lowering your per-unit landed cost.

How do you protect bulk garments from moisture during ocean shipping?

We implement export-standard protective packaging calibrated for international maritime transit. Each individual garment is placed in a sealed polybag accompanied by an industrial-grade silica gel desiccant package to absorb residual moisture. Furthermore, bulk orders are packed into heavy-duty, double-wall corrugated master cartons lined with a large waterproof poly-liner to completely isolate the cargo from humidity, temperature fluctuations, and mold risks inside the container.

Do you offer direct-to-consumer "Dropshipping" services?

As a specialized B2B activewear factory, we do not support direct-to-consumer (B2C) dropshipping. Our production lines and quality control protocols are engineered for bulk manufacturing (minimum 100pcs/style/color). Once production and final QC are complete, we ship the bulk order directly to your designated brand warehouse, distribution center, or 3PL partner using DAP or DDP shipping terms.

What are your payment terms?

○Deposit: 30% to start production. ○Balance: 70% before shipment. ○Methods: T/T (Bank Transfer), PayPal (small amounts), Western Union.

What if my goods get lost or damaged during shipping?

While rare, accidents can happen. If you choose our DDP service, we handle the liability until delivery. For other methods, we strongly recommend adding Shipping Insurance. We will assist you in filing claims with the carrier.

Do you offer "Drop Shipping" services?

Currently, we specialize in B2B Wholesale (bulk manufacturing) and do not ship single items directly to your end consumers. We ship the bulk order to your warehouse or fulfillment center.

Do you offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping?

Yes. For USA, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia, we offer DDP shipping. We handle customs clearance and pay the import duties, so the goods are delivered straight to your door hassle-free.
