Frequently Asked Questions
What is the import duty on bed linen from India to the UAE?
The UAE (as a GCC member) applies a common external tariff of 5% on most textile imports including bed linen (HS 6302.21) and cotton towels (HS 6302.60). The UAE-India CEPA (Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) was signed in 2022 and provides preferential duty rates for Indian exports — consult your UAE customs broker for current applicable rates under CEPA.
How long does sea freight take from India to UAE?
Sea freight from Cochin (Kochi), Kerala to Jebel Ali Port (Dubai) takes approximately 10–14 days — one of the shortest India-export sea routes. This makes India-UAE the ideal supply corridor for hotels requiring regular linen replenishment. Air freight to Dubai takes 2–3 working days.
Do you supply hotel linen to Dubai hotels directly?
Yes. We supply hotel groups, hotel management companies, and hospitality linen distributors in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and across the UAE. We have experience with Dubai Tourism Authority hotel supplier requirements and can provide appropriate documentation.
Does the UAE-India CEPA affect duty rates on textiles?
Yes. The India-UAE CEPA (signed in February 2022, in force from May 2022) reduced or eliminated duties on many textile categories exported from India to the UAE. Indian exporters qualifying under CEPA can benefit from preferential duty rates. Consult your UAE customs broker with the specific HS code and current CEPA schedule.
Can you ship to Saudi Arabia and Qatar via Jebel Ali?
Yes. Many of our UAE buyers use Jebel Ali as a transshipment hub for onward distribution to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. We can also arrange direct FCL shipments to Jeddah or Dammam in Saudi Arabia on larger orders.
