EU rules that apply
| Topic | What applies |
|---|---|
| Customs | Turkey and the EU are in a customs union for industrial goods; goods in free circulation travel with an A.TR movement certificate (electronic A.TR accepted) |
| Labelling | Fibre composition by EU textile names (Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011), available in the official language(s) of the country where the product is sold |
| Chemicals | REACH restrictions apply to textiles placed on the EU market, for example the restriction on certain azo dyes (Annex XVII, entry 43) |
French product information rules (AGEC)
France's anti-waste and circular economy law (AGEC) requires producers and importers above the legal thresholds to give consumers information on the environmental qualities of their products, under Décret n° 2022-748. For textiles this includes traceability information about where the main production stages took place. French brands covered by the rule therefore ask suppliers for:
- The countries where weaving, dyeing or printing, and making-up took place
- Fibre composition and recycled content information where claimed
- Certificates with their exact product scope for any certified claim
Thresholds and details are set out in the decree and the ministry's FAQ; your compliance team confirms which apply to your brand. Our certificates and their scopes are listed on our Certificates page.
Shipping and lead time
Production lead time is the same for every market: samples take 7–10 days and bulk production 3–5 weeks, depending on quantity and approvals. Transit time on top of that depends on the shipping method you choose; ask your forwarder for a door-to-door estimate.
What to send with your enquiry
- Tech pack, sketch or reference garment
- Quantity per style and size split
- Fabric and wash direction
- Label language and any retailer requirements in France
- Target delivery date and delivery address
