Custom socks manufacturer for Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a simple market to source for. Sea freight from Datang to Hong Kong is usually 2 to 4 days, so many buyers use it for repeat orders and stable stock. Air freight is used when the order is small or the delivery date is tight. For private label socks, MOQ can start at 100 pairs per color, but the real MOQ depends on yarn, packaging, and logo method.

For trade terms, EXW works when the buyer already has a forwarder in China. FOB from a nearby port is common if you want cleaner control on freight. DDP is possible for some small orders, but check who handles import paperwork and local delivery. Hong Kong has 0% duty on socks, and textile compliance is usually light compared with many other markets. English and Chinese labels are both used, so confirm the carton mark, fiber content, size, and origin wording before mass production.

• Shipping choice. Sea freight suits 1,000 pairs and up. It is cheap and fast for Hong Kong. Air freight is better for samples, rush replenishment, and small drops to retail buyers.
• Lead time. Sample lead time is usually 5 to 10 days. Bulk production is often 20 to 35 days after artwork and preproduction approval. Add 2 to 4 days for sea transit into Hong Kong.
• Import and labeling. No major textile compliance is normally required, but buyers still need clear fiber content, size, country of origin, and care label details. If the socks go to chain stores, ask for carton marks and barcode format up front.
• Payment terms. Common terms are 30% deposit and 70% before shipment. For repeat buyers, some factories accept 30% deposit and 70% against copy of bill of lading. First order buyers should expect stricter terms.
• What to verify locally. Confirm if the order is for Giordano type basics, G2000 style office socks, or private label gift packs. Check yarn count, cuff tension, toe seam type, pack count, and logo placement with a real sample. Also confirm whether the consignee in Hong Kong can receive pallets and clear goods on time.
