Nevear is a leading custom apparel manufacturer

Clothing Manufacturer for Valencia Brands

Nevear makes custom clothing for brands in Valencia, 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 Valencia.

This page covers what matters for a Valencian label: EU duty by production country, import VAT, the city's container port, and the ban on destroying unsold clothing, which makes ordering small runs and reordering what sells the safer plan.

Why Valencia brands work with Nevear

  • Order what you can sell. Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per item, so you can launch a style, see what sells and reorder, instead of holding stock you may not throw away. Read what MOQ means.
  • Four production countries. The US, the UK, Pakistan or China, so you can weigh price, fabric and EU duty for each order.
  • 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 sportswear, leggings, t-shirts, shorts, tank tops and hoodies for Valencian labels.

Duty on clothing into Spain

Clothing shipped to Valencia from outside the EU pays the EU's common customs duty, normally 12%, unless it qualifies for one of the 0% rates below.

Duty into the EU on cotton T-shirts and denim jeans, from the EU's TARIC database (October 2026). The 0% rates apply only when the goods meet the scheme's rules of origin.
Where the clothing is madeDuty into the EUWhy
UK0%EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement
US0%EU tariff preference for goods of US origin, since July 1, 2026
Pakistan0%GSP+, the EU's preference scheme for developing countries
China12%No preference, so the EU's normal rate applies

Each 0% rate has its own rule of origin, and where the fabric is made can matter as much as where the garment is sewn. Our guide for Barcelona and Spanish brands explains the rule, along with Spain's plastic packaging tax and labels in Spanish.

Import VAT and the Port of Valencia

Spain's standard VAT rate of 21% is also charged on imported clothing. It is paid at customs when the goods are cleared, unless your business files monthly VAT returns and has opted to defer import VAT to them.

The Port Authority of Valencia (Valenciaport) handled 5,662,661 TEU of containers in 2025, a record and 3.41% more than in 2024. China was its biggest trading partner, ahead of Italy and the United States.

Unsold clothing may not be destroyed

Spain's waste law, Law 7/2022, bans destroying unsold non-perishable products such as textiles, or sending them to landfill, unless another law or consumer safety requires it. Unsold stock has to go first to reuse, including donation, and only then to preparation for reuse or recycling.

The Valencian Community's own waste law, Law 5/2022, repeats the ban.
