NOTICES · QUESTIONSWhat UK buyers
What UK buyers
ask us.
Transit time depends on the Indian origin, UK destination, freight mode, carrier schedule, and customs clearance. We provide a current estimated delivery window before you commit and tracking after dispatch.
We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, origin evidence, and product details used for classification. The UK importer or customs agent confirms the commodity code, final duty treatment, entry filing, and any product-specific controls.
All international orders including UK buyers are quoted and invoiced in USD. This provides transparency and consistency regardless of GBP fluctuations. There are no hidden conversion fees whatsoever.
Minimum order value depends on the product, manufacturer, customization, and delivery scope. The quotation confirms the applicable quantity, order value, account-management scope, production timing, and pricing before acceptance.
We share manufacturer certifications and audit evidence when available and requested. Your team remains responsible for checking whether that evidence satisfies its ESG, B Corp, procurement, or investor-reporting framework.
The UK-India Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement entered into force on 15 July 2026. Any tariff preference depends on the product commodity code and the agreement rules of origin, so eligibility is checked per product rather than assumed.
