Frequently Asked Questions on Guangdong Trade
Key information for apparel merchants, sourcing representatives, and trading houses.
Can Guangdong trading companies visit your facility in the Philippines?
Yes. Chinese citizens holding valid US, Schengen, Japanese, or Canadian visas can enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 7 days. Direct flights operate daily between Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN) / Shenzhen Bao'an (SZX) and Manila (MNL), with domestic connections to Davao.
How do we ensure our apparel avoids US Section 301 tariffs?
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) rules state that the country of origin of an apparel article is conferred by the country in which the garment is wholly assembled. Because cutting, sewing, and final packaging occur in the Philippines, the goods legally enter the US under Philippine origin, exempt from Section 301 duties.
What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom production?
Our standard production MOQ starts at 300 pieces per style/colorway for custom-cut garments. For athletic running singlets, sublimated sportswear, or promotional tees, flexible trial runs from 100 pieces are supported.
Can we pay for production in Chinese Yuan (RMB) or US Dollars (USD)?
Yes. We accept commercial wire payments in both US Dollars (USD) and Chinese Yuan (RMB / CNH) via international commercial banking networks, minimizing currency exchange friction.
Can you coordinate with our existing third-party freight forwarder in Shenzhen?
Yes. We work seamlessly with your nominated logistics provider or forwarder in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, or Hong Kong. We provide complete booking notes, commercial packing lists, and delivery coordinate memos.
What international social and factory audits does your facility hold?
Our manufacturing facility complies with WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) principles, amfori BSCI standards, and Sedex SMETA social accountability criteria, fully approved for export orders to tier-1 international retailers.
