B2B Underwear Sourcing Guide from China
Sourcing underwear from China can deliver 40-60% cost savings compared to domestic or nearshore production — but only if you know the process. This guide covers everything from factory selection to shipping.
Step-by-Step Sourcing Process
- Define Your Product: Fabric composition, GSM, construction details, size range, target retail price.
- Request Samples: Expect 3-7 day turnaround for lab dips and fit samples. Budget $50-200 per sample including courier.
- Negotiate Terms: MOQ 2,000 pcs per style, FOB Xiamen, T/T 30% deposit + 70% before shipment.
- Production Monitoring: Weekly progress updates, inline QC photos, and third-party inspection optional.
- Shipping & Logistics: FOB, CIF, or DDP — your choice. Average sea freight: 25-35 days to Europe, 15-20 days to US West Coast.
