What can be a common reason for product rejection in handicraft export?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Failure to meet quality, size or safety standards
For export, a handicraft product must meet the importing buyer’s or country’s quality, size, packaging and safety requirements. Failure to meet these standards can lead to rejection by the buyer or inspection agency. Being handmade, made by a local artisan, or linked to a cultural story is not a reason for rejection; these can be product strengths. Exam tip: associate export rejection with non-compliance with quality and safety standards.
