At Wadiz, when running a global project,
we do not conduct separate reviews by country.
- Therefore, before proceeding with a project, please separately verify that the products you offer as rewards do not fall under import restriction items in each country where you wish to ship.
- You can check country-specific regulations on the KOTRA Certified Information System, each country's customs or regulatory agency websites, or consult with a certification specialist.
