Socks for the US market

The United States is named in our published market list, and it is the one destination on this site with a written compliance frame: for children’s socks it is the CPSIA children’s product rules, the Children’s Product Certificate that travels with the goods, and the Proposition 65 wording where it applies.

Sock samples laid out on the showroom table in Zhuji before an export order

The showroom, where a US-bound range is signed off. What travels to the United States is the same sock, the same cartons and a document set that starts with the invoice and the packing list — plus, for children’s goods, a compliance frame that has its own page on this site.

Four things that change when the destination is the United States

Not the sock, and not the floor. These four stop being optional the moment a US buyer, a US DC or a US customs broker is on the other end.

The floor your order runs on
The floor your order runs on What to check: the same four lines run a US order as any other. Nothing about the destination changes the building, the audits or the 1,000-pair minimum.
The yarn your colours are booked from
The yarn your colours are booked from What to check: colour count is a cost line, and a US retail range usually wants more of them. Book the split before the sample, not after.
The cartons your DC receives
The cartons your DC receives What to check: 100 pairs to a carton is our arithmetic, not your receiving rule. The case pack is confirmed per style on the proforma invoice.
The sample that gets approved
The sample that gets approved What to check: for children’s styles the approved sample and the compliance file have to agree, which is why both are settled before bulk rather than beside it.

What we publish for the US, and what we refuse to add

A market page is easy to fill with confidence and impossible to check. These four are the parts that can be checked, and the last two are the parts that cannot.

The children’s product frame

For the US market, children’s socks sit under the children’s product rules: limits on lead and on phthalates, the Children’s Product Certificate that travels with the goods, and the Proposition 65 wording where it applies. Written out on children’s sock compliance.

The statutory citations

Total lead limits under CPSIA §101 / 15 U.S.C., cited on the same page. The citation is published so a compliance desk can check the section rather than take a summary on trust.

No US warehouse, no US entity

We hold no inventory in the United States and there is no US entity on any of our documents. An order ships from Zhuji under a term you choose, and the stock problem is yours from the moment the term says it is.

No named US customers

We do not publish buyer names, US or otherwise. A supplier who lists their US accounts is telling you what they will do with yours.

How a US-bound order is documented

Five lines, from the enquiry to the claim window. The United States changes nothing structural here; it adds the compliance file and it makes the size scale explicit.

Send the destination and the age band

A US-bound enquiry needs one thing a domestic one does not: which age band the goods sit in. With that on the brief, the reply can say which documents travel and which compliance page applies, inside the same working day.

  • Within one working dayReply to an enquiry, Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 China Standard Time (UTC+8).
  • 1,000 pairs per styleThe bulk minimum, counted per style rather than on the order total.
  • 3–5 daysSampling, after the brief and the artwork are confirmed.
  • 20–30 daysBulk, after the deposit is received and the sample is approved.
