We walk factory floors in India so you don't have to. Factory checks, production monitoring, pre-shipment inspection — and we make sure your goods meet UKCA and UK REACH rules before they ship.
A London homeware retailer came to us after a shipment of brass lanterns arrived with finishes that failed UK REACH limits. The supplier had sworn the lacquer was compliant. Nobody tested it before dispatch. The whole consignment had to be reworked in the UK — at ten times what testing in India would have cost.
That's the expensive lesson. Post-Brexit, the UK–India trade corridor keeps growing, and India's furniture, textiles and handicraft strengths line up well with what British retailers actually buy. The working day overlaps your morning, so questions get same-day answers — not the overnight wait you get with East Asia. And sea freight to Felixstowe or Southampton runs 28–35 days, which is very manageable for planned ranges.
But the rules changed after Brexit, and plenty of suppliers haven't caught up. We make sure yours have.
Since Brexit, Great Britain runs its own product rules. Get them wrong and goods get held at Felixstowe — or pulled by trading standards later, which is worse. We check compliance at the factory, while fixes are still cheap.
UKCA replaced CE for most goods sold in Great Britain. We'll check your products carry the right marks and the paperwork matches — during pre-shipment inspection, not when an inspector comes knocking.
Chemicals in finishes, dyes and textiles are regulated, and the limits bite. We flag risky materials — certain dyes, wood finishes, metal alloys — at the sampling stage, when changing them costs almost nothing.
Customs declarations are now mandatory for everything, and rules of origin affect your duty rates. Sloppy invoices cause real delays. We check commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin line by line before dispatch.
Furniture fire-safety rules, textile labelling, general product safety — the UK is specific about all of it. We check labels, care instructions and packaging against your specs while the goods are still at the factory.
We're based in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and we've been doing this since 2012. We work for you — the buyer — not the factory. That matters: our job is to find problems, not hide them.
What it costs: 5–10% of your order value, or a fixed $1,500–$3,000 per month for ongoing volume. Quoted in writing before we start. And we never take money from factories — if we did, whose side would we be on?
5–10% of order value, or $1,500–$3,000 a month for ongoing work. Quoted in writing before we start. No hidden fees, no factory kickbacks.
We check marking, labelling and documentation against your specs during inspection, and flag gaps early. Formal conformity assessment stays with your designated body — we make sure the factory output is ready for it.
Production is usually 45–75 days, then 28–35 days by sea to Felixstowe or Southampton. We build realistic timelines with inspection buffers — no fantasy dates.
Yes — it's a common pattern. Furniture from Jodhpur, brassware from Moradabad, rugs from Bhadohi, all consolidated at an inland container depot into one 20ft or 40ft container with unified paperwork.
You don't do it alone — that's the service. We visit in person, check registrations, walk the floor, and send you a photo report. Then you decide.
Send your product, quantities and target pricing. We'll reply with an honest take on whether India is the right call — and what it would cost to do it properly.
