Product compliance
Clothing sold in the United States and Canada are subject to various product regulations that cover chemicals and labeling. For example, textile labels in the United States must include fiber composition, care instructions, and country of origin. Some US states, such as California, also set chemical restrictions that also apply to textiles.
MOQ requirements
The minimum order quantity requirements largely depend on the fabrics. Some fabrics, and colors, have lower MOQs, while others require larger volumes. That being said, most garment factories in Mexico can offer MOQs ranging from 250 to 500 pcs per design and color. Some may also set an MOQ, albeit lower, for each individual size.
