Why German & EU brands source from India
Germany is Europe's largest market for sustainable retail, and EU buyers prize evidence-based eco-credentials. Indian jute, juco and cotton bags deliver natural, renewable materials with strong sustainability stories — sourced directly from the manufacturer.
EU customs & import VAT
Goods entering the EU are classified under the Combined Nomenclature (CN) code. Your costs include any customs duty plus import VAT at your country's rate.
Important: CN codes, duty and VAT vary. Confirm current figures via the EU TARIC database or your customs agent before ordering.
REACH compliance matters in the EU
The EU restricts certain chemicals in textiles and dyes under REACH. Choose a manufacturer that uses REACH-compliant, low-impact dyes and can provide declarations — see our detailed guide on REACH-compliant jute & cotton bags for the EU.
