MOQ 300 pcs, DDP delivery 25–35 days, zero tariff under ChAFTA." url: "https://yueyiactive.com/sportswear-manufacturer-australia.md" canonical: "https://yueyiactive.com/sportswear-manufacturer-australia" locale: "en" --- # Custom sportswear, manufactured and delivered to Australia. Australia is our most quality-demanding market — and Australian brands are among our most loyal repeat clients. We manufacture activewear for AU brands and retailers (t-shirts, hoodies, joggers, yoga wear, leggings) at a standard MOQ of 300 pcs/style, with capacity for 200K+ pcs/month across 24 lines. We hold a current SMETA (Sedex) audit. Sea freight to Sydney in 12–18 days; most categories enter duty-free under ChAFTA. FOB, CIF, and DDP available. ## Why Australian brands source from Guangzhou - **Short Sea Route** — Guangzhou to Sydney is 12–18 days by sea — roughly half the transit time to European or US ports. Faster restocking, less capital tied up in shipping. - **ChAFTA Zero Tariff** — Under the China–Australia Free Trade Agreement, most knitted sportswear (HS 6110, 6104) enters Australia at 0% duty. This saves 5–10% compared to non-FTA sourcing countries. - **Western Sizing Expertise** — We stock XL, 2XL, and 3XL blanks and build size runs for the Australian market. Our patterns are graded for Western body proportions, not Asian domestic sizing. - **Counter-Seasonal Production** — Australia's winter (June–August) is China's summer — factory capacity is available when Northern Hemisphere demand is low. This means shorter lead times for your winter range. ## What we manufacture for the Australian market | Product | Details | |---|---| | **T-Shirts** | 170–280 gsm combed cotton.

We build these into our production process so your goods arrive ready to sell. - **UPF Sun Protection** — Australia has some of the highest UV exposure in the world. Outdoor and performance sportswear benefits from UPF 50+ rated fabrics. We source UPF-tested polyester and nylon blends and can include a UPF rating on your hang tags. - **Care Labelling** — Australian Consumer Law requires fibre content labelling on clothing. Care symbols must follow ISO 3758. We produce compliant care labels in English with correct symbols — no need for a third-party relabelling service after import. - **Product Safety** — Children's nightwear in Australia must meet fire safety standard AS/NZS 1249. We can source fire-retardant treated fabrics and provide test certificates from NATA-accredited labs when your product range includes kids' sleepwear. ## FAQ ### Is there import duty on sportswear from China to Australia? Most knitted sportswear (hoodies, t-shirts, joggers, leggings) enters Australia at 0% import duty under the China–Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA). Woven garments and some accessories may still carry a 5% duty. We can check the tariff classification for your specific products. ### How long does shipping from Guangzhou to Australia take? Sea freight takes 12–18 days to Sydney or Melbourne. LCL (shared container) adds a few days for consolidation. Air freight takes 5–7 days. Express courier is 3–5 days for samples and small quantities. ### What is the minimum order quantity? 300 pieces per style per color for custom manufacturing (your fabric, color, and label) — most Australian programs run 300–5,000 pcs/style. If you only want your logo on our existing blank styles, we can run a 100-pc trial so you can validate quality before committing to a full order. ### Do you ship DDP to Australia? Yes. We offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to any address in Australia. We handle freight, customs clearance, and duty payment. You receive the goods at your warehouse with no import paperwork. ### Can you match Australian sizing standards? Yes. We grade our patterns for Western body proportions and stock XL through 3XL blanks. If you have your own size chart, we can produce to your exact specifications with a 300-piece minimum per style per color. ### Do you provide care labels in English with Australian compliance markings? Yes. We produce care labels with washing, drying, and ironing symbols per ISO 3758 — the standard used in Australia. Fibre composition is listed in English as required by Australian Consumer Law. We can also add your RN or brand identifier. ### How do I send samples back for revision? Use DHL or FedEx express courier from Australia — it takes 3–5 days to reach our Guangzhou factory. We cover return shipping costs for the revised sample back to you. Most brands complete the sampling process with one or two courier exchanges. ## Related - [Sportswear Manufacturer for UK | Custom Activewear from China](https://yueyiactive.com/sportswear-manufacturer-uk) - [Custom Sportswear Manufacturer | OEM, ODM & Full Package, MOQ 300+](https://yueyiactive.com/custom-sportswear) - [Yoga Wear Manufacturing | Custom Yoga Leggings & Activewear Manufacturer](https://yueyiactive.com/yoga-wear-manufacturer) - [Wholesale Hoodies Manufacturer | Custom Hoodies & Sweatshirts from 100 pcs](https://yueyiactive.com/wholesale-hoodies) - [OEM/ODM Activewear Manufacturer | 200K/Mo, Private Label](https://yueyiactive.com/for-brands) --- ## Contact Yueyi Active - **Phone / WeChat**: +86 186-6690-3622 (add this number on WeChat to chat directly) - **WhatsApp**: [+86 186-6690-3622](https://wa.me/8618666903622) - **Email**: [sunny@yxsportswear.com](mailto:sunny@yxsportswear.com) - **Request a Quote**: [Get a Free Quote](https://yueyiactive.com/quote-request/new) ## Factory & Showroom **Yueyi Active** — Sportswear & activewear manufacturer in Guangzhou, China.
