Compliance and Testing
First-world buyers typically require OEKO-TEX Standard 100, flammability compliance for upholstery, and dimensional stability and color-fastness testing. TUSKO coordinates sample approvals, lab testing and pre-shipment inspection to ensure shipments meet specification.
Quality Risks and How TUSKO Mitigates Them
⚠️ Risk: Shrinkage, dye lot variation or inconsistent stitching leads to customer returns and chargebacks.
✅ The Fix: We set measurable tolerances for shrinkage and color, approve bulk dye lots before cutting, and inspect finished goods against sealed samples.
