Why Perth brands and businesses work with Nevear
- Small first runs. Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per item, so a small team or a new label can order what it needs. Read what MOQ means.
- Uniforms and branded workwear in your colours, with your logo embroidered or printed.
- Duty-free options. Clothing from our UK, US and China partner factories can enter Australia duty-free when it meets the trade agreement's rules of origin.
- A predictable timeline. Samples take 2–3 weeks, and bulk orders usually arrive 3–4 weeks from the order date, shipping included.
We make jackets, pants, jeans, t-shirts, hoodies and caps for Perth brands and businesses.
Hi-vis workwear: the standard comes first
High-visibility garments for people exposed to moving traffic, plant or equipment in high-risk situations are covered by AS 4602.1:2024, which Standards Australia published in June 2024 as the current Australian edition. It sets the conspicuity requirements: how visible the garment makes the person wearing it.
Mine, port and construction sites often add their own requirements on top. Send us your site's specification with the request, and we confirm in the quote whether the garment can be made and tested to it.
Sun protection
If you want to state a UPF rating on outdoor workwear or a hat, the fabric has to be tested under AS 4399, which rates it 15, 30, 50 or 50+. Our Brisbane guide explains how testing works.
Duty and GST on clothing into Perth
| Where the clothing is made | Duty into Australia | Why |
|---|---|---|
| UK | Free | Australia–UK Free Trade Agreement |
| China | Free | China–Australia Free Trade Agreement |
| US | Free | Australia–United States Free Trade Agreement |
| Pakistan | 5% | No Australian trade agreement, so the general rate applies |
GST of 10% is charged on the customs value plus international transport, insurance and duty, and consignments over A$1,000 need a full import declaration. Your business must register for GST once its turnover reaches A$75,000. Our Australia guide covers the labelling rules.
