Wholesale Kids Clothes for Canada Buyers — Direct from Turkey

Canadian importers face two requirements that catch first-time buyers out: bilingual English and French labelling under the Textile Labelling Act, and the CA identification number or full dealer name and address on the label. We prepare both as standard for Canadian orders rather than leaving it to the importer to relabel on arrival, which is expensive and often delays a season. Logistically, Canada is served by air express in three to six days for urgent or high-value orders, and by sea in twenty-five to thirty-five days to Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver for volume. Canadian winter demand also means heavier weights and layering pieces sell far better than in comparable US markets.

  • Heavier weights and layering pieces suited to Canadian winters
  • Air 3-6 days for urgent orders, sea 25-35 days for volume
  • MOQ 50 pcs per style — far below typical Asian container minimums

Questions

Frequently asked

What labelling does Canada require?+

Bilingual English and French fibre content and care instructions, plus either a CA identification number or the full name and address of the Canadian dealer. We print all of this before shipment so you do not have to relabel on arrival.

Is there duty on Turkish clothing entering Canada?+

Yes. Canada has no free trade agreement with Turkey, so standard apparel duty rates apply depending on HS code and fibre content, plus GST/HST. Confirm current rates with your customs broker.

Air or sea freight for a Canadian order?+

Air express under roughly 150kg, sea LCL above that. Sea takes 25-35 days but typically halves the freight cost per piece.

Do you produce winter-weight garments?+

Yes — 240gsm brushed cotton, fleece-lined hoodies, wool-blend knitwear and padded outerwear, with 100 pcs per style minimums on outerwear.

Can you ship samples to Canada quickly?+

Yes, samples go by DDP courier and typically arrive in three to five business days with duties prepaid.
