Every figure here is one we commit to on an order, not an estimate. **What is the minimum order?** 100 pieces per style and per colour. The same minimum applies to a first order and a repeat, and it is not raised for new customers. **How long does production take?** Sampling is 1-2 weeks. Bulk production is 4-6 weeks after the pre-production sample is approved. Road freight to the EU is a further 3-7 days. **Are you a factory?** No. We are a production management company in Istanbul working through a vetted network of Turkish factories, so each product is placed in a plant built for it rather than whichever line happens to be free. **How large can an order be?** Programmes run from 100 pieces to 100,000 and above. Above 10,000 pieces we allocate lines and reserve capacity in writing against your delivery dates before materials are ordered. **Do EU buyers pay import duty?** No. Turkish origin apparel enters the EU duty free under the EU-Turkey Customs Union with a valid ATR movement certificate. UK buyers use an EUR.1 under the UK-Turkey agreement. **What quality standard do you inspect to?** AQL 2.5 for major defects as standard, tightened to 1.5 on request or to a buyer's own supplier manual. Measurements are checked against your approved size set. **Which certifications are available?** OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 fabric at any order size, GOTS and GRS certified chains where the volume supports a dedicated dye lot, and amfori BSCI or Sedex audited factories. The certificates are held by the mills and factories, and the transaction or audit document is supplied per order. **Can you work from a sketch instead of a tech pack?** Yes. ODM development starts from a brief, a mood board or a reference garment. OEM production works from your own tech pack. **Who owns the patterns?** You do. Patterns, graded specs and approved samples belong to your brand and are not offered to other customers. **Why Turkey rather than Asia for a European brand?** Transit is 3-7 days by road instead of 30-45 days by sea, there is no EU duty, and a repeat order can be produced in 3-4 weeks. That lets a brand order shallow, read real sell-through and reorder inside the same season instead of forecasting a container six months out. **How long have you been doing this?** Since 1995, from Istanbul. ## Buyer questions - [Manufacturing Costs in Turkey](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/clothing-manufacturing-cost-turkey) - [MOQs in Turkey](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/clothing-manufacturer-turkey-moq) - [Production Lead Times](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/clothing-production-lead-time-turkey) - [How to Order from Turkey](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/how-to-order-clothing-from-turkey) - [Importing from Turkey](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/clothing-import-from-turkey) - [Turkey vs China](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/turkey-vs-china-clothing-manufacturing) - [Why Manufacture in Turkey](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/why-manufacture-clothing-in-turkey) ## Guides - [All Guides](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/resources) - [How to Find a Clothing Manufacturer in Turkey](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/how-to-find-a-clothing-manufacturer-in-turkey) - [What Is a Tech Pack?](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/what-is-a-tech-pack) - [What Is MOQ?](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/what-is-moq-in-clothing-manufacturing) - [How to Start a Clothing Brand](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/how-to-start-a-clothing-brand) - [Screen Printing vs DTG vs DTF](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/screen-printing-vs-dtg-vs-dtf) ## Company - [About Us](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/about-us) - [How It Works](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/how-it-works) - [Quality Control](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/quality-control) - [Certifications](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/certifications) - [Request a Quote](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/request-a-quote) - [Contact](https://apparelmanufacturerturkey.com/contact)
