Hotel Linen Supplier for Paris Palace Hotels & Luxury Properties

France is a member of the EU, which applies a common external tariff of 12% MFN on hotel bed linen (HS 6302) and bath towels (HS 6302.60) from India. VAT (TVA) at 20% applies on the CIF value at import. An EU–India FTA has been under negotiation — check with your customs broker for the current status. We provide full origin documentation (EUR.1 form where applicable) with every shipment.
