How to Source Custom Eyewear to the US, UK & Europe: Hassle-Free DDP Door-to-Door Shipping & 60-Pair Low MOQ Guide
If you run an independent eyewear brand, a fashion boutique, or an optical shop in the United States, the United Kingdom, or Europe, you already know that finding the right sunglasses or optical frames is only half the battle. The real headache usually starts when you try to order a small batch from overseas without blowing your budget on huge factory minimums and unexpected customs charges.
Most traditional optical factories still work the old way: they ask for 500 to 1,200 pairs per style, and their prices only cover making the glasses at the factory gate (known as EXW or FOB terms). That leaves you responsible for arranging international freight, hiring a customs broker, sorting out import paperwork, and paying unpredictable tariff bills before the courier will release your boxes.
At Hermitin Optical, we keep this process simple. Shipping directly from our factories in Danyang and Taizhou, we combine a 60-pair low-MOQ private label service on our existing styles with DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) door-to-door delivery to the US, the UK, and across Europe. We take care of production, customs clearance, and import taxes on our end, so your order shows up at your door just like a normal local delivery.
Quick Overview for US, UK & European Buyers:
- No Customs Hassle (DDP Door-to-Door): We handle customs clearance and import duties for you. You don't need an import license or a customs broker.
- Start with Just 60 Pairs per Style: Add your own logo to our existing catalog styles starting at 60 pairs per model, and mix available colors within that style.
- European & North American Fit (Western Fit): Our export sunglasses and optical frames are built with wider fronts, deeper nose bridges, 145mm–150mm temples, and prescription-ready lens grooves.
