Guidance for importing nursery goods

What you need to know about and do to comply with the law and keep consumers safe.

Children's products should be manufactured to comply with the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

There are a number of labelling requirements for nursery goods, including the name and address of the manufacturer / importer, batch, model or serial number, and warnings and instructions.

As an importer of nursery goods, you have a legal duty to ensure that the products you supply are safe. Guidance is available below to help you make sure the products you import are labelled correctly, are accompanied with the correct warnings and instructions, as well as making certain the manufacturer has carried out relevant procedures to ensure the goods are safe.
