Safety Gloves Import FAQ

Our standard MOQ is 6,000 pairs per model. For mixed orders, the MOQ can be as low as 500 pairs per model with a slight price adjustment. We also accept trial orders of 200–500 pairs for new customers to test market demand before committing to larger volumes. OEM and custom branding orders typically require 5,000+ pairs per design.

Yes, mixed model orders are fully supported. Many buyers order 3–6 different glove types in one 20ft container to offer a complete product range to their distributors. We can pack multiple models with individual barcodes and packaging in one shipment, reducing your logistics cost per model by 40–60% compared to individual shipments.

Yes, we offer sample service. Stock samples ship within 3 days (courier fee paid by buyer). Custom OEM samples require 7–10 days and sample cost is refundable against bulk orders of 10,000+ pairs. We recommend ordering samples first to verify quality — this is standard practice for serious B2B safety equipment procurement.

Yes, all our safety gloves are CE EN388 certified and tested by accredited European laboratories. We provide full test reports and CE declarations of conformity with every order. We also offer ANSI A1–A9 rated cut-resistant gloves for the US market, and products can be tested to meet specific regional standards including AS/NZS (Australia), JIS (Japan), and custom buyer specifications.

We hold ISO 9001:2015 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), CE PPE Regulation (EU), and ANSI/ISEA 105 (USA). Our factory is audited annually by Bureau Veritas. We also hold export licenses for major markets and comply with REACH regulations for European exports. Full certification documentation is available on request.

EN388 is the European standard for protective gloves against mechanical risks. It tests 4 key metrics: abrasion resistance (0–4), cut resistance (0–5, updated to ISO 13997), tear resistance (0–4), and puncture resistance (0–4). For example, EN388: 4X43B indicates high abrasion (4), high tear (4), high puncture (3), and level B cut resistance. European importers must legally require EN388 compliance — our gloves carry full test reports from EU-notified laboratories.
