I deal with a lot of fabrics but not a lot of textiles so keep this in mind. There are significant labeling requirements normally with materials and country of origin, like you mentioned, but any supplier that has exported to your country should have standard labeling they’ll apply. If you get a dumbfounded response from a supplier just move on to the next. If you have a customs broker you work with, they’ll normally be happy to review a sample label for little or no charge. I’m also not sure any textile labeling is ever checked by customs at the time of import (aside from possibly children’s clothing) which takes away some of the stress.

It was helpful as I’m looking for other ways to find suppliers than Alibaba. I also really enjoyed your latest webinar on product differentiation. Is it OK if I ask you a question about that webinar here? You brought up the point that textiles is a great type of product where you can easily make product tweaks. I’ve been warned in the past that there are various labeling requirements for selling textiles (country of origin, materials, flammability, etc). If I sell a product that may be considered a textile, how can I make sure I put the right tags/labeling on the product to meet all requirements? How do you handle this and can you recommend any resources to learn more?
