Retailers Who Buy Their Own Stock Directly from India/Nepal/Pakistan

If you are a retailer who buys (or wishes to buy) direct from India / Nepal / Pakistan, then you will need to sign a licence agreement with RugMark and:

either buy from an exporter currently registered with RugMark in those countries, and inform them that you want all rugs you purchase to be RugMark labelled – Contact RugMark UK for an up-to-date list of licensed exporters - Telephone 020 7405 0980 or Email info@rugmark.org.uk

or, if the exporter that has the ranges you wish to buy is not currently registered with RugMark, you can ask them to apply for registration. This means that the exporter will have to sign a licence agreement with the RugMark office in their country, and that RugMark inspectors will visit their looms to check for illegal child labour. Once you and your supplier are both registered with RugMark, you can use the RugMark label.

Retailers Who Buy Stock through Importers/Wholesalers

If you want to sell RugMark labelled rugs, and you buy through UK importers / wholesalers, you do not need to sign a licence agreement with RUGMARK UK, but your importer/wholesaler does.

You may find that your importer/wholesaler is already registered with RugMark UK (See full list of our licensed importers), and if this is the case, then just tell them that you want all India / Nepal / Pakistan rugs you buy through them to be RUGMARK certified.

If your importer/wholesaler is not already registered with RugMark, let them know that you only want to buy rugs from India / Nepal / Pakistan that have been certified by RugMark and ask them to contact the RugMark UK office to find out how to do this. Telephone 020 7405 0980 or Email info@rugmark.org.uk.
