        abstract = {The present study examines the ethical challenges and export compliance issues faced by textile export firms, with specific reference to firms associated with the Tea Association. In the context of increasing globalization and stringent international trade regulations, ethical compliance has become a critical factor influencing business performance and sustainability. The study aims to identify the major ethical conflicts encountered by firms, analyse the impact of export compliance requirements, and evaluate the relationship between firm characteristics and ethical issues. The research is based on primary data collected from 32 respondents using structured questionnaires. Various analytical tools such as simple percentage analysis, descriptive statistics, Garrett ranking technique and Spearman rank correlation were employed to interpret the data. The findings reveal that labour-related issues, environmental concerns, and buyer-driven price pressures are significant ethical challenges faced by the firms. The study concludes that while ethical compliance is essential for accessing global markets, it also poses significant challenges for firms. The research suggests the need for improved regulatory support, sustainable practices, and enhanced awareness among exporters to effectively manage ethical conflicts and ensure long-term growth.},
