Melbourne Buyer FAQs
Questions answered.
What is the import duty on hotel linen from India to Melbourne (Australia)?+
Under the Australia–India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AI-ECTA), Indian-origin hotel linen (HS 6302) enters Australia at 0% customs duty, subject to AI-ECTA Certificate of Origin. The previous MFN rate was 10%. Standard VAT (GST at 10%) applies on CIF value. We provide AI-ECTA CoO documentation with every shipment.
What is the ocean transit time from India to Melbourne?+
Ocean freight from Cochin (COK) to the Port of Melbourne (AUSML) is 20–26 days, slightly longer than Sydney (18–24 days) due to the additional routing south. The Port of Melbourne is Australia's busiest container port, handling over 3 million TEUs annually. Combined with 35–45 day production, total delivery from order to Melbourne warehouse is approximately 58–75 days.
What specifications do Melbourne 5-star hotels require?+
Melbourne's flagship luxury properties (Park Hyatt, Crown Towers, Four Seasons, InterContinental, Sofitel) specify 600–700 GSM Egyptian cotton bath towels and 400–600TC sateen or percale bed sheets. The Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula boutique resort market favours 500–600 GSM. CBD business hotels (Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton) typically use 500 GSM towels and 300–400TC sheets. We supply across all segments.
Can you supply hotel linen for the Melbourne Grand Prix and major event periods?+
Yes. Melbourne's Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix, Australian Open (tennis), and Spring Racing Carnival create demand surges for luxury hotel properties. We recommend placing orders 90–120 days before major events to allow production (35–45 days) plus ocean transit (20–26 days) and customs clearance (3–7 days). Pre-positioned LCL inventory at a Melbourne 3PL is also an option for repeat buyers.
Do you supply boutique hotels and Airbnb operators in Melbourne's inner suburbs?+
Yes. Melbourne's thriving boutique hotel scene (Fitzroy, Collingwood, St Kilda, Prahran) and premium short-stay rental market use Anabyn linen. For boutique operators, MOQ is 500 pieces per SKU (towels) or 200 sets (bed linen). LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping makes small initial orders practical. As volume grows, FCL rates become available from approximately 18,000 pieces.
