Market — UK & Europe
Hospitality Linen Sourcing for the UK & Europe, Direct From India
Celeris Exim helps UK and European importers and hotel suppliers source hospitality linen from verified Indian mills — now with the UK–India trade agreement removing duty on nearly all textile lines.
Why source from India for the UK & Europe
UK: duty-free under the new CETA
The UK–India Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement came into force on 15 July 2026, removing tariffs across roughly 1,143 textile lines and putting 99% of Indian goods on a duty-free footing into the UK — a direct landed-cost improvement for hospitality linen.
EU: get ahead of the curve
The India–EU free trade agreement has concluded negotiations and is expected to take effect in 2027. Buyers who set up their Indian supply chain now are positioned to capture the tariff benefit from day one, without waiting.
Compliance built in
Mills are selected for OEKO-TEX and ISO certification where required, with documentation prepared to the standard European buyers expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the new UK trade deal actually reduce my costs?

Not yet — the India–EU FTA has concluded negotiations, with signing expected in late 2026 and entry into force expected in 2027. You can set up your Indian supply chain now and be ready to capture the benefit as soon as it lands.
