Sleek Apparels

Manufacturing for United States

Apparel Manufacturer for US Brands

American DTC brands, streetwear labels, and merch companies are our largest client group. The playbook that works: develop and lock quality with a 50-piece first run, ship launch stock by air, then move to sea freight as volumes grow.

US apparel imports from Bangladesh carry standard tariffs — no country gets a preference, so every Bangladeshi supplier competes on equal footing. We ship door-to-door with freight already inside the unit price; import duty and VAT are paid by you at clearance, and we tell you what to budget for them up front.

Duties & import costs

Standard US apparel tariffs apply to Bangladeshi goods (rates vary by garment and fiber). Our quotes are door-to-door with freight included in the unit price; US import duty and any fees at clearance are paid by you. We are not a DDP supplier and will not quote as one — you always see the duty line separately so nothing is buried.

Model your landed cost to United States — freight, duty, and clearance on one screen, or request a quote and we’ll price it exactly.

United States Buyer Questions

Do American brands really manufacture at 50 pieces in Bangladesh?

With us, yes — it is our core model and the thing that makes us unusual here. Almost no Bangladeshi factory will quote a 50-piece run. A 50-piece run of a custom heavyweight tee still beats decorated US-made or premium stock blanks on unit cost while being fully custom: your fabric, fit, labels, and packaging. In peak season the minimum can rise to 100 pieces, and we confirm it when we quote.

How long until my order is in the US?

First orders: 4–8 weeks end-to-end (development, sampling, production) plus transit — 3–6 days by courier, 6–10 by air, roughly a month by sea. Reorders skip development and run 3–6 weeks plus transit.

Who handles customs clearance?

You do, or your broker does — and we supply every document they need: commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin. Freight to your door is already inside our unit price, but US import duty and clearance fees are billed to you at entry. We do not offer DDP, so no supplier is quietly absorbing a duty line you cannot see.
