The "Made in Luxembourg" label is an initiative of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Skilled Trades and Crafts aimed at identifying the Luxembourg origin of goods and services.

Represented by an easily identifiable logo, this label allows businesses established in Luxembourg to promote the Luxembourg know-how regarding their products or services and to stand out, especially abroad within the framework of an internationalisation strategy.

The label and its right of usage are granted on request of the producer of the goods or services:

• either by the Chamber of Skilled Trades and Crafts if the applicant carries out craft activities and is affiliated to that chamber;
• or by the Chamber of Commerce if the applicant carries out commercial activities and is affiliated to this chamber.

The supervisory board, comprising a representative of each of the 2 professional chambers, ensures high supervision over the "Made in Luxembourg" label and can impose sanctions for any breach of the conditions of use and control.

Who is concerned

The "Made in Luxembourg" label may be granted to individual or commercial companies, except:

• non-profit associations (association sans but lucratif, asbl);
• and public interest institutions.

Prerequisites

The "Made in Luxembourg" label is only granted to Luxembourg products or services, i.e.:

• service provisions carried out by a provider who has a permanent establishment in Luxembourg and regularly carries out activities in Luxembourg.
  
  If the service provision is limited to the assembly or mounting of imported products, to the design and development of a product or to the provision of counsel, the provider must prove that they have a particular know-how, or respect the professional rules specific to Luxembourg and which constitute one of the particular characteristics of said provision of service.
