Kuzgunlar Textile in Istanbul exports jeans, denim shirts and denim jackets to the Netherlands.
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) |
What Dutch buyers usually ask for
Dutch fashion brands and retailers usually combine EU rules with their own supplier codes. Typical requests include:
- A wash standard approved on a physical sample
- Fibre composition labels in Dutch (and often other EU languages for cross-border online sales)
- Certificates with their exact product scope
- Packing and carton marking that matches the buyer's warehouse requirements
Because many Dutch brands sell online across several EU countries, it is worth agreeing at the start which label languages each style needs. 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
