Incoterms & payment
FOB Indian port, or CIF to your UK port. LC on file or staged TT.
Currency
Quoted in USD; GBP on request.
Who buys from here
Canvas and bag importers re-pricing landed cost after the FTA, home-textile converters, workwear and uniform manufacturers, and soft-furnishing workrooms.
Against other origins
Pakistan and Bangladesh compete on plain-greige price and have their own duty positions; the FTA narrows or reverses that on Indian cloth into the UK specifically.
