Products specially developed for the market new or reworked do research Considerations
Linguistic barriers not really, English universal Barriers due to small economies, uncompetitive Lack of organisation of producers Lack of clusters to consolidate orders
Where applicable sanitary/phyto-sanitary requirements Issues re insects, organisms in wood, seeds, fibres
Other Concerns
Issues re chemicals used, e.g. in tanning hides no chrome Issues re glazes used in pottery no lead (1974 case) Get familiar with the EU Export Help Deskwww.exporthelp.europa.eu Where wood will come into contact with food then FDA regulations will factor in. (Salad bowls, wooden spoons etc.) There is a Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) FDA.gov
Drying
Wooden products stressed by climate change Lids wont fit; drawers wont close
