--- title: "Packaging, Labelling and Country of Origin Disclosure" date: 2026-07-01 author: "b" --- # Packaging, Labelling and Country of Origin Disclosure *Last updated: July 1, 2026* *Published by: CIVARA WORKSHOP* --- ## Overview This page describes the packaging in which your CIVARA WORKSHOP order is dispatched, the labels attached to your product, the export documentation that accompanies your shipment, and our country of origin disclosure practices. We are committed to accurate, compliant labelling in every market we serve and to packaging that protects your piece during international transit. --- ## PART A – PRODUCT LABELLING ### A1. Care and Content Label Every CIVARA WORKSHOP product is dispatched with a securely attached care and content label. The label is permanently affixed – not loosely inserted – and is positioned to avoid damage to the textile: on shawls and scarves, at one selvedge edge, typically at a corner; on robes and larger garments, at the inner back neckline or inner back hem. The label contains the following information: Label ElementContentRegulatory basisBrand nameCIVARA WORKSHOPBrand identificationFibre composition100% Cashmere / Cachemire (bilingual for Canadian market)EU Textile Reg. 1007/2011; UK Textile Labelling Regs 2012; US TFPIA; Canadian Textile Labelling ActCountry of originMade in IndiaCustoms law (all markets); US TFPIA; Canadian Textile Labelling ActCare symbolsISO 3758 / GINETEX standard symbolsEU, UK, and international care labelling standardsDealer identity (US)CIVARA WORKSHOP, Srinagar, IndiaUS Textile Fiber Products Identification Act### A2. Care Symbol Key The care symbols on your label correspond to the following instructions. A full explanation of care methods is provided on our **Pashmina Fibre Composition, Origin and Care** page.

Additional Label for Embellished Products Where a product carries hand-embroidery or other surface embellishments, the label additionally notes “Contains hand-embroidery – dry clean only recommended” and the thread composition if different from the base fabric. --- ## PART B – PRODUCT PACKAGING ### B1. Inner Packaging Your CIVARA WORKSHOP piece is folded and wrapped in **acid-free tissue paper** before being placed in the outer packaging. Acid-free tissue protects the Pashmina from moisture, friction, and contact with potentially reactive surfaces during transit. It also prevents colour transfer between pieces in multi-item orders. ### B2. Outer Packaging Your wrapped piece is placed in a **CIVARA WORKSHOP branded outer box or rigid mailer**, sized appropriately for the product. The outer packaging is chosen for its protective properties – it must withstand the physical handling of international express courier transit, including compression, stacking, and the temperature and humidity variations of air freight. **\[INSERT: confirm exact outer packaging specification – e.g., rigid cardboard gift box with magnetic closure for retail orders; reinforced corrugated mailer for institutional/wholesale orders – adjust this section accordingly\]** ### B3. Sustainable Packaging Commitment **\[INSERT: confirm packaging sustainability position before publishing. If the following is accurate, retain it; if not yet confirmed, remove or adjust:\]** CIVARA WORKSHOP uses no single-use plastic in the inner wrapping of products. The tissue paper used is acid-free and recyclable. The outer box is made from \[INSERT: FSC-certified / recycled / recyclable\] cardboard. We are committed to minimising packaging waste while ensuring that your piece arrives in perfect condition. ### B4. Packaging for Institutional and Wholesale Orders Institutional and wholesale orders of multiple items are packed in consolidated outer cartons appropriate for the volume and weight of the shipment. Each individual piece within the carton is individually wrapped in acid-free tissue and labelled with the relevant order reference. Cartons are sealed and marked with the CIVARA WORKSHOP name, origin address, and IEC number. --- ## PART C – EXPORT DOCUMENTATION Every CIVARA WORKSHOP international shipment is accompanied by the following export documentation, prepared in accordance with Indian export law and international customs requirements. Shipments are sent on a duties-and-taxes-prepaid basis: the destination-country import duty and import VAT or GST are collected at checkout and paid on the buyer’s behalf at import (see our **Pricing, Taxes, VAT and Import Duties** page), and the shipping documents reflect this. ### C1. Commercial Invoice The commercial invoice is the primary customs document for your shipment. It contains: FieldContentSeller name and addressCIVARA WORKSHOP, Abi Buchwars, Dalgate, Srinagar 190001, Jammu and Kashmir, IndiaSeller IEC0599032952Seller GSTIN01ACVPG7676H1Z8LUT ARNAD010526001074UBuyer name and addressAs provided at checkoutInvoice number and dateUnique invoice number; date of issueProduct descriptionFull written description – e.g., “Handloom-woven Pashmina shawl, 100% Cashmere, \[dimensions\], \[colour\], Made in India”HS Code6214.20 – all products (shawls, scarves, and robes); the robe is a single hand-woven piece of fine animal hair with no tailoring or making-up, so it classifies as 6214.20, the same as the shawls and scarvesQuantityNumber of piecesUnit value (FOB)Value per piece in USDTotal value (FOB)Total shipment value in USDCurrencyUSDCountry of originIndiaTerms of deliveryDDP (Delivered Duty Paid) – import duties and taxes prepaid by sellerGST treatmentZero-rated export under LUT – 0% IGSTThe commercial invoice value is the **accurate commercial value** of the goods. CIVARA WORKSHOP does not under-declare shipment values for customs purposes under any circumstances. ### C2. Packing List A packing list accompanies every shipment, detailing the number of packages, their dimensions and weights, and the contents of each package. ### C3. Airway Bill or Courier Waybill The carrier’s airway bill or waybill serves as the contract of carriage and provides the tracking number for your shipment. ### C4. PTQCC Certificate (Where Applicable) Where PTQCC fibre verification has been conducted for the product batch, a copy of the PTQCC certificate is included in the shipment documentation. For institutional orders, the original certificate may be included; for retail orders, a copy. Additional copies are available on request from hello@civaraworkshop.com. ### C5. Shipping Bill For regulatory purposes, a Shipping Bill is filed with Indian Customs through the ICEGATE portal for every export consignment. The Shipping Bill number is recorded in our export documentation and is cross-referenced in the EDPMS system for FEMA compliance. The Shipping Bill is an Indian customs document and is not typically shared with the buyer, but is available on request for institutional and wholesale buyers who need it for their records. --- ## PART D – COUNTRY OF ORIGIN ### D1. Statement of Origin The country of origin for all CIVARA WORKSHOP products is **India**. Specifically: all fibre is sourced from Ladakh, India; all yarn spinning is carried out in Kashmir, India; all fabric is handloom-woven in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India; all finishing, quality inspection, and packaging is carried out in Srinagar, India. This statement of origin appears on the product label (Made in India), the commercial invoice (Country of Origin: India), all product pages on civaraworkshop.com, all Etsy product listings, and all export shipping documents. ### D2. Rules of Origin India is the country of origin for all CIVARA WORKSHOP products under the substantial transformation test applied by customs authorities globally – the fibre, yarn, and fabric production from which the finished textile derives its essential character all take place in India. For buyers in countries that have trade preference agreements with India – including the ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement, the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), and others – CIVARA WORKSHOP can provide a **Certificate of Origin** issued by an authorised body (such as the Export Inspection Agency or a designated Chamber of Commerce) if required for preferential duty treatment at the destination. Please contact hello@civaraworkshop.com before your order is dispatched if you require a Certificate of Origin. --- ## PART E – CONTACT FOR PACKAGING AND LABELLING QUERIES For any question about product labels, packaging, export documentation, or certificate of origin requests: **Email:** hello@civaraworkshop.com **Subject line:** “Packaging/Labelling Query – \[Order Number\]” **WhatsApp:** +91 985-708-0786 --- *This page was last reviewed and updated on July 1, 2026.
