Preference route · EUR.1 movement certificate
Selling into the European Union
EU preference depends on origin, and origin for apparel depends on double transformation: fabric made from yarn inside the zone, then cut and sewn there. Every category we quote is built on fabric produced in Egypt for exactly that reason — cut-and-sew from imported fabric would lose the preference.
| Requirement | How we handle it |
|---|---|
| Double transformation | Fabric woven or knitted in Egypt from yarn, then cut and sewn. Imported yarn is permitted; imported fabric is not. |
| EUR.1 certificate | Issued by Egyptian customs and travelling with the shipment. |
| Product safety | General product safety obligations apply to non-food consumer goods, including a risk assessment and technical documentation. |
| Chemical restrictions | REACH restrictions apply; azo dyes are the sensitive one in textiles. |
| Fibre labelling | Composition labelling is a legal requirement, not a branding choice. |
This page summarises requirements as they apply to our range. It is not legal or customs advice, and requirements change. Confirm your own obligations with a customs specialist before you commit to a season.
