Clothing Manufacturer for Toronto Brands

• Small first runs. Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per item, so you can test a style without committing to hundreds of units. Read what MOQ means.
• Duty-free options. Clothing from our US and UK partner factories can enter Canada duty-free under trade agreements when it meets the origin rules.
• Room to grow. Repeat orders can reach around 50,000 pieces in a single shipment, from the same approved sample.
• Bilingual labels included. Care, fibre content and dealer details in the format Canadian law requires.

We make jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, jeans, tracksuits, sportswear and caps for Toronto labels.

GST of 5% is also charged at the border. Our Canada guide covers the rates, the US surtaxes and the labelling rules in more detail.

Ontario charges 13% HST on most sales: a 5% federal part and an 8% provincial part. Qualifying children's clothing gets a point-of-sale rebate of the provincial part, so shoppers pay only the 5%.

You must register for GST/HST once your taxable revenue goes over $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over the last four consecutive quarters. Below that you are a small supplier, and registering is optional; registering lets you claim back the GST/HST you pay on business costs.

Duties and taxes on commercial imports are accounted for and paid through the CBSA's CARM Client Portal. Importers must register their own business in the portal; a customs broker cannot do it for them. You need a nine-digit business number from the Canada Revenue Agency and an import (RM) program account.

Once you are registered, you can give your broker delegated access, so they can see your account and pay on your behalf.

Outerwear, fleece and knitwear do much of the selling in a Toronto winter, so plan to have that stock in by early autumn. One sample round and the bulk order take about five to seven weeks, so send your tech pack by early summer to leave room for a second sample.
