Nevear is a leading custom apparel manufacturer

Clothing Manufacturer for Miami Brands

Nevear makes custom clothing and swimwear for Miami brands, from a first run of 50 pieces per item to around 50,000 pieces in a single shipment. We produce through partner factories in the US, the UK, Pakistan and China, and deliver to Miami.

This page covers what matters for a Miami label: timing a collection around Miami Swim Week, how Florida taxes clothing, buying stock with a resale certificate, and duty on imports.

Why Miami brands work with Nevear

  • Small first runs. Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per item, so you can launch a swim or resort capsule without committing to hundreds of units. Read what MOQ means.
  • Swimwear done properly. Stretch fabrics, linings and fit samples in the real fabric; see our swimwear page for what you can specify.
  • Room to grow. Repeat orders can reach around 50,000 pieces in a single shipment, from the same approved sample.
  • A predictable timeline. Samples take 2–3 weeks, and bulk orders usually arrive 3–4 weeks from the order date, shipping included.

We make swimwear, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, sportswear, skirts and caps for Miami labels.

Planning around Miami Swim Week

Paraiso Miami Swim Week takes place in Miami Beach each year in late May or early June. The 2026 edition, its 22nd, ran from 28 to 31 May. If you are showing a collection, or launching swimwear for the summer, work back from that date.

Weeks from the start of sampling

One sample round shown. Each extra round adds 2–3 weeks, and your review time comes on top.

Swimwear needs a fit sample in the real stretch fabric, and a new style often needs a second round, so allow at least two sample rounds plus the bulk order: send your tech pack by early March for a late-May launch.

How Florida taxes clothing

Florida charges a 6% state sales tax on clothing, and counties, Miami-Dade included, add a discretionary sales surtax at the rate of the county where the goods are delivered. Florida also holds a back-to-school sales tax holiday each summer, when clothing priced at $100 or less per item is exempt; a $120 item is taxed on the full price.

Registered dealers receive a Florida Annual Resale Certificate, which lets you buy stock for resale without paying sales tax. It expires on 31 December each year, and it does not cover anything you buy to use in the business.

Made in the USA or imported: what you pay at the border

Example: cotton T-shirts (HTS 6109.10.00, 16.5% base duty) as of October 2026. Base duties differ by product.
