Cotton & Linen Fabric Supplier for the United States
Standard US tariff applies to Indian cotton fabric, but India sits outside the Section 301 tariffs on China and outside the concentration risk that is driving US buyers to diversify.
- Duty position
- Standard US tariff applies to Indian cotton fabric, but India sits outside the Section 301 tariffs on China and outside the concentration risk that is driving US buyers to diversify.
- Shipping lane
- Sea from Mundra or Nhava Sheva to the US East Coast (Savannah, New York) via Suez, or West Coast (Los Angeles, Long Beach) via the Pacific. Roughly 4 to 6 weeks in transit.
- Incoterms & payment
- FOB Indian port or CIF to your US port. Staged TT to start, LC once established.
- Currency
- Quoted in USD.
- Who buys from here
- Home-textile and workwear manufacturers running a China-plus-one programme, bag and accessory brands, and stock-holding fabric distributors.
- Against other origins
- China remains faster and broader; the case for India is tariff exposure and supply-risk diversification, not raw speed.
