Frankfurt Buyer FAQs
Questions answered.
What is the import duty on hotel linen from India to Frankfurt (Germany)?+
Germany applies the EU common external tariff of 12% MFN on hotel linen (HS 6302) from India. VAT (Mehrwertsteuer) at 19% applies on the CIF value at import. Port of Hamburg handles most container imports to central Germany. Frankfurt itself is an inland city approximately 460 km from Hamburg by road (4–5 hours). German importers can also clear goods at Bremerhaven (Hamburg's neighbour port) or Rotterdam for onward trucking.
What is the ocean transit time from India to Frankfurt?+
Ocean freight from Cochin (COK), India to Hamburg (Germany) is 22–28 days via the Suez Canal. Hamburg is Germany's largest port, 460 km from Frankfurt. Alternatively, goods can be cleared at Rotterdam (Netherlands) and trucked to Frankfurt (570 km, ~6 hours) or shipped to Bremerhaven. Combined with 35–45 day production, total delivery from order to Frankfurt is approximately 62–80 days.
Do you supply hotels during Frankfurt Messe trade fair periods?+
Yes. Messe Frankfurt is the world's largest trade fair venue — hosting IAA, Automechanika, Musikmesse, and Ambiente. Frankfurt hotel occupancy peaks at 98%+ during major trade fairs, with premium pricing and heightened quality expectations. We recommend placing orders 90–120 days before major Messe events. Pre-positioned inventory at a Frankfurt or Rhine-Main logistics warehouse is an option for buyers with predictable replenishment cycles.
What specifications do Frankfurt 5-star and business hotels require?+
Frankfurt's hotel market is primarily business travel — Steigenberger, Marriott, Hilton, Westin, Intercontinental, Le Méridien, and Flemings. Business hotels typically specify 500–600 GSM ring-spun combed cotton bath towels and 300–400TC percale or sateen bed sheets. Airport Sheraton and conference hotels near Frankfurt Airport (one of Europe's busiest) require high-durability, easy-care linen for high-turnover laundry operations.
Do you supply German textile importers and hospitality distributors?+
Yes. German hospitality distributors (Wäschereien, Reinigungsunternehmen) and wholesale linen importers can source through Anabyn. We provide German-language care labelling (GINETEX symbols + German care text), full GS1/EAN barcoding for warehouse management compatibility, and EU-compliant labelling for retail distribution. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification — mandatory for many German buyers — is standard on all our products.
