Quick answer
Who is a reliable t-shirts supplier and exporter for Nepal?

Why Nepal needs t-shirts
Nepal imports most of its clothing through Kolkata and the Indian land border at Birgunj, and Kathmandu's retailers and tourist-area shops buy from Indian factories.
T-shirts are the highest-volume garment: bought as retail basics, promotional merchandise and event wear, in plain and printed styles.
Wholesale & trading houses in Nepal
Wholesalers and trading houses in Kathmandu and Birgunj buy mixed containers of T-shirts, jeans, kidswear and basics, selling on to shops and market traders across Nepal and neighbouring markets.
In Nepal, garment wholesalers and jobbers and import–export trading houses buy t-shirts from us mainly for apparel wholesalers and jobbers and retail chains and department stores.

The garment market in Nepal
Nepal imports most of its clothing through Kolkata and the Indian land border at Birgunj, and Kathmandu's retailers and tourist-area shops buy from Indian factories.
Buyers here are wholesalers in Kathmandu and Birgunj buy fashion basics and festive wear; schools and institutions buy uniforms; tourism retailers buy printed and woven garments.
What buyers in Nepal look for
Buyers like cotton kurtis, T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, jackets and school uniforms; Dashain and Tihar drive festive buying.
Cold winters in the hills favour hoodies and jackets from October to February; peaks run through Dashain and Tihar (September–November) and the school year from April.
Import rules and labelling for Nepal
Goods enter by road from India under the India–Nepal treaty arrangements or by sea through Kolkata; check customs and labelling rules with your broker.
Duties and taxes: Customs duty plus VAT/GST under the national tariff. Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.
Planning your t-shirts order for Nepal
The calendar in Nepal sets the delivery window for t-shirts. Cold winters in the hills favour hoodies and jackets from October to February; peaks run through Dashain and Tihar (September–November) and the school year from April. For t-shirts specifically, t-shirts sell round the year in warm markets and for spring-summer in cooler ones; promotional and event T-shirts spike before elections, tournaments and festivals. Our lead time is 30–45 days including dyeing and print approval; 20–25 days on stock knit fabric, plus sea transit of about 3–12 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of t-shirts in Nepal include promotional-merchandise companies, retail chains and fast-fashion brands, wholesalers supplying street markets and event, sports and political organisers. Around Kathmandu and Birgunj, they usually order 1,000–2,000 pieces per colour and style, falling to 500 pieces for stock colours with simple prints and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Nepal
For Nepal we suggest planning t-shirts in two drops, one in lighter fabrics and one in heavier ones, so stock matches the weather rather than sitting unsold.
Sizes: S–3XL unisex and men's; women's XS–XL fitted; kids 2–14 years. Colours: Over 40 stock colours in reactive dye; Pantone matching available on bulk.
T-Shirts made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make t-shirts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Nepal market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.
How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.
- Colour: Over 40 stock colours in reactive dye; Pantone matching available on bulk.
- Size: S–3XL unisex and men's; women's XS–XL fitted; kids 2–14 years.
- Design and branding: screen, DTG, heat-transfer and embroidery branding, custom colours matched to Pantone, own neck labels and printed inner labels and oversized and cropped blocks.
About our t-shirts
Tiruppur is the world's largest knitwear cluster, and most Indian T-shirts that reach Europe, America and Africa begin there, as yarn spun in Coimbatore and knitted, dyed, cut and sewn within a few kilometres. That compactness is what lets us quote short lead times and consistent prices on cotton jersey.
The difference between a cheap T-shirt and a good one is mostly hidden: yarn count, fabric weight, collar recovery, taped shoulders and print durability. We specify these in the purchase order, and our checks confirm them on random cartons, including a wash test on a sample from each colour lot.

How we ship t-shirts to Nepal
Nepal is landlocked, so cargo moves by sea to the transit port and then by road or rail. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Nepal; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.
Folded in individual polybags with size stickers, 50–100 pieces per carton; compressed packing available for freight savings. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Wash cold, inside out, tumble dry low; do not iron directly on prints.
Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
