For buyers

## 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.
