Recent customs operations carried out across Italy and Europe have once again highlighted one of the toy industry's most important priorities: product safety.

Throughout July, thousands of counterfeit and non-compliant products were seized, while the European Commission's latest report on customs safety controls revealed that more than 60% of toys purchased online from sellers outside the European Union and inspected by customs authorities failed to meet EU safety requirements. At the same time, the removal of the customs exemption for low-value imports marks another important step towards stronger controls and fairer competition within the European market.

For manufacturers, retailers and distributors alike, these developments reinforce a clear message: quality, compliance and traceability have become essential competitive assets.

At Dulcop, safety is not considered a final checkpoint but an integral part of product development.

We produce our soap bubbles entirely in Italy through a quality management system built around continuous monitoring and improvement.

Every Dulcop product is developed in full compliance with European toy safety legislation. Our bubble solution is CLP compliant and AllergyCertified®, an internationally recognised certification confirming an exceptionally low risk of causing skin allergies.

Every production batch undergoes daily in-house quality controls and regular verification by UL Solutions Italia, an internationally recognised independent laboratory that confirms compliance with the highest safety and quality standards.

In today's global marketplace, safety protects far more than consumers.

Certified products strengthen retailer confidence, support distributors and contribute to building long-term trust throughout the entire supply chain.

For Dulcop, recent customs inspections simply reinforce a commitment that has guided the company for decades.

Because quality builds trust. And trust begins with safety.
