Kidswear, Uniforms & Workwear Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in Zambia

Zambia is landlocked, importing through Dar es Salaam, Durban and Walvis Bay, and its Copperbelt mines create steady demand for workwear, hi-vis and boots-adjacent clothing.

Buyers here are wholesalers in Lusaka and Kitwe supply retailers; mining and construction contractors buy workwear; schools and NGOs buy uniforms.

Durable workwear, coveralls, jeans, T-shirts, and school uniforms are in demand; hoodies and jackets sell in winter.

Summers are warm and wet from November to April, with a cool, dry winter from May to August. Peaks follow school terms in January, May and September, and Christmas.

Goods transit through Tanzania, South Africa or Namibia and clear with an import declaration at the border; check COMESA and SADC rules with your broker.

Duties and taxes: Customs duty plus VAT (SACU / SADC frameworks where applicable). 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.

Kidswear: Children's sets, T-shirts, frocks, shorts and bottoms in soft cotton for boys and girls from infants to 14 years. Typically 500–1,000 pieces per design; sets can be mixed by size within a design; lead time 35–50 days from approved sample.

School Uniforms: School shirts, trousers, skirts, pinafores, blazers, sweaters and PE kits made to school colours and repeat-order standards. Typically 1,000–3,000 pieces per item per school or tender; small schools can be grouped in one order; lead time 45–70 days including shade approval; 30 days on repeat orders.

Workwear & Corporate Uniforms: Coveralls, overalls, hi-vis vests, work shirts, trousers, aprons and corporate uniforms for industry, hospitality and healthcare. Typically 500–1,000 pieces per style; contract orders for mines or plants can be much larger; lead time 35–55 days; hi-vis and flame-retardant styles 45–60 days.

Kidswear and uniforms are repeat-order businesses: children outgrow clothes, schools reorder every term, and companies re-clothe their staff every year. That steadiness makes them attractive to importers, and it rewards a supplier who can match shade, size and trim exactly from one order to the next.

Wholesalers in Lusaka and Kitwe supply retailers; mining and construction contractors buy workwear; schools and NGOs buy uniforms.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make kidswear, uniforms & workwear in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Zambia 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.

Fabrics: Soft cotton jersey and interlock, poly-cotton drill, twill, gabardine, ripstop.

Size range: Kids 0–14 years by age and height; adult uniforms XS–5XL.

Safety: Kids' wear without small detachable parts or drawcords at the neck; REACH and CPSIA declarations on request.

Fabric weight: Kidswear 120–200 GSM; uniforms 150–260 GSM; workwear 200–320 GSM.

Branding: Logos by embroidery, print or woven badge; own labels and hang tags.

Packing: Ratio packing, individual polybags, bundle packing by size or school year.

We ship from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Dar es Salaam / Durban in about 18–28 days, quoted FOB, CFR or CIF. Several kidswear, uniforms & workwear can be combined in one container with one set of documents.

Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
