What a GI tag means for you.
A Geographical Indication is a registered name, protected in India under the Geographical Indications of Goods Act, 1999, that ties a product to the place and method that made it famous.
- The name is protected: only registered producers and authorised users from the named region may use it.
- Ask for the authorised-user certificate, or a letter from the registered proprietor, before you place an order.
- GI protects the name and origin, not your design. Custom colours, sizes and packaging are usually welcome.
- Many GI crafts are made by artisan groups and cooperatives, so plan for smaller batches and allow time for hand work.
