What buyers need to know

What stands behind the numbers on this site.

Sixty-five buyer guides, a glossary and two reference tables — written by the people who run the sourcing work, not by a content agency. This page says how, and what to do when we get something wrong.

01

Who writes this

The guides are written by the SEAMDANCE development team in Xiamen — the same people who read tech packs, sit through lab-dip approvals and handle inspection reports — and signed by Amber Chan, Export Manager, who is responsible for quality control and answers for what they say. There is no separate content department and no outside agency. We do not publish under invented expert names: where a guide reflects team practice rather than an individual’s credential, it says so.

02

What we cite, and what we do not

Regulation, tariff, testing-standard and compliance guides carry a Sources section linking the primary text — the eCFR, EUR-Lex, ECHA, OEHHA, the USITC tariff, the standards bodies. Guides that describe our own working practice do not carry citations, because the source is the practice itself; those state plainly that they are experience rather than published standard.

03

Dates, and why they matter here

Tariff rates, restricted-substance limits and compliance deadlines all expire. Pages that depend on them carry the date the information was checked, and point at the official lookup rather than freezing a number in place. If a page has no as-of date, it is because nothing on it is time-sensitive — not because we forgot.

04

Numbers about our own business

Our operating terms are: in activewear since 2018 (the current company was registered in 2026), MOQ from 100 pieces on stock styles and 300–500 per style for custom development, quotations within 24 hours, stock samples in 3–4 days, custom first samples in about 7 days, and final inspection to AQL 2.5. The own-factory equipment and development figures on our About page were provided by the owner on 2026-09-30; the fastest sample case does not replace the usual sample times. Historical delivery, program and country figures are our own operating records, not independently audited totals. Industry figures are identified separately.

Own-factory facts and scope
05

Certifications are never ours

OEKO-TEX, GOTS, GRS, BSCI and ISO certificates belong to the mill or factory that holds them, for a specific scope and a specific validity period. No certification is claimed for SEAMDANCE or its own factory. Before an order is placed we check the holder, the scope and the expiry against what that order actually requires.

When we are wrong

Sourcing information goes stale and writers make mistakes. If something here is wrong, out of date, or reads as more certain than the evidence supports, write to [email protected] with the page and the problem. Corrections to factual errors are made to the page itself, not buried in a footnote, and we will tell you what changed.
