Set the local requirements early.
The selling country and intended wearer belong in the first brief. Surajmal Shobhachand uses them to define the label versions, product checks and responsible-party information before sample and bulk approval.
A coordinated set for named retail destinations
Approve both pieces together
Set the fabric, print, colour and measurements for each garment so the set is reviewed as one product brief.
Identify wearer and destinations
Confirm the intended age group, sales countries and quantities before settling the applicable product checks.
Gather local artwork information
Agree language versions and collect the relevant importer or responsible-party details for each destination label.
Keep the set and records aligned
Approve physical labels, size pairing, packing and the agreed testing or conformity records before bulk production.
Labelling & regulatory guidance
Six destinations, six separate label regimes.
Each destination sets its own language, responsible-party and conformity requirements, so each one is approved on its own terms before bulk.
Singapore safety
The Consumer Protection (Consumer Goods Safety Requirements) Regulations apply to apparel. Children’s upper outerwear is assessed against EN 14682 or ASTM F1816, so neck, hood and waist cords are settled at the construction stage.[1][2]
Malaysia claims
The Trade Descriptions Act 2011 prohibits false trade descriptions, including composition and origin claims. We prepare fibre, care, size and origin content from the approved garment specification and the importer’s requirements.[3]
Thailand label
Finished clothing is label-controlled and carries Thai-language consumer information: the Thai-registered importer or ordering party, address, date of manufacture and price in Thai baht. Another language may sit alongside the Thai but not in place of it.[4]
Indonesia SNI
Garment categories listed in Minister of Trade Regulation No. 25 of 2021 carry the required field set in Bahasa Indonesia. Baby clothing up to 36 months additionally requires SNI 7617 conformity certification.[5][6]
Philippines identity
Article 77 of the Consumer Act requires a locally addressed manufacturer, importer or repacker, plus country of manufacture for imported goods. DAO 01 s.2008 requires English or Filipino information on the label or packaging, applied so it cannot easily be removed, detached or erased. Removable stickers alone do not meet that rule.[7][8]
Vietnam label and chemicals
Decree 37/2026, which replaced Decree 43/2017, requires a Vietnamese label before imported goods circulate, naming both the producer and the Vietnamese importer with their addresses. For apparel, it requires the principal quantitative material composition and, where there are multiple layers, the principal quantitative composition of each layer. QCVN 01:2017/BCT sets the formaldehyde and aromatic-amine limits.[9][10]

Common Questions
Before you place an order.
What must appear on a Thailand-bound apparel label?
Thai-language content for finished clothing: the Thai-registered importer or ordering party, address, date of manufacture and retail price in Thai baht. A second language can accompany the Thai content but cannot replace it.[4]
Does Indonesian baby clothing need SNI certification?
Yes. Clothing textiles for babies up to 36 months are under compulsory SNI safety control, built around SNI 7617 and its amendment, alongside the required Bahasa Indonesia label.[5][6]
What does Vietnam require on an imported garment?
Under Decree 37/2026 a Vietnamese label must be in place before the goods circulate, carrying the name and address of both the producer and the Vietnamese importer. For apparel, the label must state the principal quantitative material composition and, where there are multiple layers, that composition for each layer. QCVN 01:2017/BCT separately covers formaldehyde and certain aromatic amines.[9][10]
What applies to children’s upper outerwear in Singapore?
EN 14682 or ASTM F1816 is the reference for children’s upper outerwear. The construction review covers neck, hood and waist cords and their free ends, which is why it happens before sampling rather than after.[1][2]
Does an imported garment need a Philippine address on its label?
Yes. Article 77 of the Consumer Act requires the address of the manufacturer, importer or repacker in the Philippines. The information must be in English or Filipino and cannot be supplied only on a removable sticker.[7][8]
What order sizes do you work with?
We work across a wide range, from small and emerging brands to the largest global retailers. Minimums are set per style and confirmed at enquiry.
