Selling into the United States
Two things decide whether an Egyptian programme works for a US buyer: whether the producing factory is QIZ-registered, and whether the cotton chain can be documented back to the gin. We source only from QIZ-registered factories, and we obtain spinner and gin records — which is what a forced-labour enquiry asks for.
| Requirement | How we handle it |
|---|---|
| QIZ registration | Confirmed for the producing factory before we quote duty treatment. Not assumed. |
| Fibre traceability | Records at every tier — farm, gin, spinner, weaver, dyehouse, cut and sew. A factory declaration alone is not accepted. |
| Yarn origin | Established before we place the order, and disclosed to you. Imported yarn changes the fibre-origin answer. |
| Labelling | Country of origin, fibre content and care labelling to your market's requirements, confirmed against your artwork. |
| Childrenswear | Out of scope for now — the additional product-safety regime is deliberately not something we take on yet. |
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.
