Ordering Custom Apparel from China: DDP, Duties, and What to Check
When ordering custom apparel from China, put the product specification, sample approval, quantity, delivery destination, timeline, and shipping basis in writing. A DDP quote should identify the named destination and what is included so you can compare a delivered order rather than a factory-only price.

Check the supplier against the order
Ask for the measurements, selected material details, construction, decoration plan, labels, packing, sample process, production schedule, inspection step, and shipping scope relevant to your project.
Read DDP with the named destination
Confirm the delivery address, quoted route, included freight and duties, customs handling, last-mile scope, expected transit, exclusions, and what happens if the destination details change.
Control approvals
Keep artwork, sample comments, measurements, roster, quantities, and delivery details in a final written revision. Do not release bulk production while material questions remain open.
Allow time after production
A production completion date is not the same as an in-hand date. Transit and import processing vary by route and destination; use the project quote for the current schedule.
