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.
From sample to delivered order
Sample
2–3 weeks
Bulk order and delivery
3–4 weeks from your order, shipping included
Weeks from the start of sampling
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
| Where the clothing is made | Duty into the US |
|---|---|
| USA | None |
| UK | 16.5% + 10% |
| Pakistan | 16.5% + 10% |
| China | 16.5% + 12.5%, plus 7.5% on many lines |
Our US guide explains each rate, the tariff changes of 2026 and the FTC rules for labeling clothing sold in the US.
