Buyer guide
Materials compliance for craft imports
A practical map of the regulatory regimes that catch handicraft consignments: heavy metals in glazes and paints, food-contact rules for tableware, nickel release in jewellery, azo dyes and formaldehyde in textiles, toy safety where an item could be used by a child, timber legality documentation, and wildlife and cultural property controls on shell, bone, ivory substitutes and antiques. The guide is organised by product family so a buyer can see which rules apply before the first sample is ordered.
