Where does Indian linen come from?
India does not grow textile flax. About three-quarters of the world’s long flax fibre comes from France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and India is its second-largest export market. Indian spinners such as Jaya Shree (Grasim) spin that flax into yarn, and Indian mills weave and finish it.
For buyers, this means European fibre quality at Indian weaving and finishing costs. Ask for flax origin documents if your product claims European flax.
Does Indian linen enter the UK duty-free?
The India–UK CETA gives 0% duty on Indian fabric that meets its origin rules, which require 35–40% Indian value. Linen woven in India from imported European yarn can fall short of that test. We check origin for each linen fabric and tell you in the quote whether it enters the UK at 0% or the standard 8%.
