Shipping and duty to United Arab Emirates

- Duty position
- India–UAE CEPA in force since 1 May 2022, with preferential access across most tariff lines including textiles. The exact concession and origin requirement is confirmed per construction before a landed price is quoted.
- Who buys from here
- Dubai and Sharjah uniform manufacturers and workwear converters, facilities-management and hospitality suppliers, and textile traders with visible B2B customers. Qualify whether goods are for UAE consumption or re-export, as standards and pricing differ.

Common questions
Do you quote CIF Jebel Ali?
Yes — FOB Mundra or Nhava Sheva as standard, or CIF Jebel Ali against a current freight quotation. We do not bury volatile freight inside an undated fabric price.
Can you supply greige for local dyeing in the UAE?
Yes. Greige cotton plain, twill and drill by the roll from a 100 m minimum, no per-colour minimum, so a UAE processor controls shade and finish in-region.
Is the fabric for UAE use or re-export?
Tell us at enquiry — destination standards, documentation and pricing change if the goods are re-exported from Jebel Ali to another Gulf or African market.
