Clothing Manufacturer for Canadian Brands

• Small first runs. Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per item, so you can launch or test a style without committing to hundreds of units. Read what MOQ means for how order size affects price.
• Made in Canada or abroad. Produce with our Canadian partner factories, or in a country whose goods enter Canada duty-free. The table below shows what each choice means at the border.
• Room to grow. The same pattern and approved sample carry through to repeat orders in the thousands.
• Your brand on every piece. Custom labels and hangtags, with the bilingual fibre content Canadian law requires.

We make jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, jeans, sportswear, tracksuits and caps, for brands across Canada, including in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City.

Clothing made in Canada pays no import duty. Imported clothing pays Canada's most-favoured-nation rate of 18% on most garments, unless it comes from a country with a Canadian trade agreement and meets that agreement's rules of origin.

Canada also applies surtaxes to certain US-origin goods, most recently from September 8, 2026. They target sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances and electronics, but check the CBSA list for your products before you import from the US.

GST of 5% is charged at the border on the value for duty plus the duty. In provinces with HST, a GST/HST registrant importing commercial goods may also need to self-assess the provincial part of the HST, and registrants can usually claim the tax back as an input tax credit. Most businesses use a customs broker for the import.

Clothing sold in Canada must be labelled under the Textile Labelling Act, enforced by the Competition Bureau. As an importer you can't bring in improperly labelled goods, so plan the label before production.

• Fibre content in English and French. Generic fibre names in order of mass, with a percentage for each fibre making up 5% or more.
• Dealer identity. Your company name and postal address, or a CA identification number. CA numbers are only for Canadian businesses, so a non-Canadian brand shows its name and address.
• Care instructions are voluntary in Canada, in words or symbols, but any you add must be accurate. If you also sell in the US, care labels are mandatory there.
• Quebec. The province has additional French-language requirements for products sold there.

Canadian winters make outerwear, fleece and knitwear the core of many ranges. Aim to have winter stock in by early autumn, and allow time for samples (typically about two weeks per round), fit changes, bulk production and shipping. Ask for production and delivery dates in your quote.

Factories in China close for Lunar New Year, so book production that runs from January to March early.

Canadian shoppers are used to US-style size labels (S to XXL, and women's 0, 2, 4 and so on). Put your size system and full measurements in the tech pack so samples and labels match.

Our sampling and tech pack guide explains what to include.

1. Send your design, tech pack or a reference garment, with quantities and the date you need stock in Canada.
2. We quote, including the minimum for each item and the production country we recommend.
3. We make a sample so you can check the fit, fabric and labels.
4. Once you approve the sample, bulk production starts.
5. We ship the finished order to you in Canada.
