What price range can I expect for 600 GSM hotel towels from India?+

For 600 GSM combed Egyptian cotton bath towels (70×140 cm) FOB Cochin, the price typically ranges from $2.80–$3.50 per piece for orders of 500–2,000 pieces. For 5,000+ pieces, the price reduces to approximately $2.50–$3.00. Custom logo embroidery adds $0.30–$0.60 per piece. The full price guide covers all GSM grades from 400–700 GSM.

What is the MOQ for hotel linen from India?+

Standard MOQ is 500 pieces per SKU (colour + size) for bath towels, and 200 sets per thread count/size for bed linen. For custom embroidered towels, MOQ is 1,000 pieces per design. The guide includes the complete MOQ table for all 12 product categories.

Are these prices current for 2026?+

Yes - the guide reflects FOB Cochin pricing as of June 2026. Cotton commodity prices and freight rates fluctuate, so actual quotes may vary ±10–15% depending on current market conditions. We recommend requesting a formal quotation at anabyn.com/request-quote for your specific specification and volume.

What is your minimum order — can I buy just one carton?+

Our standard minimum is 500 pcs / SKU for towels, 200 sets / spec for bed linen, and 200 pcs / style for bathrobes. "Per SKU" means per size and colour combination. We can run 300 pcs (trial run, small premium) for a genuine first trial. Below roughly 300 pieces we are honestly the wrong supplier — a loom set-up and a dye lot cost the same whether you order 100 towels or 1,000, so the per-piece price stops making sense for you. At that size a local wholesaler will serve you better, and we would rather tell you that than waste your week.

How much does a sample cost and how fast do I get it?+

2 free pcs per spec — you pay courier only. Courier from Kerala to most countries runs $35–$60 via DHL or FedEx and arrives in 7–14 days. We recommend asking for two GSM weights side by side — most buyers change their mind about weight once they hold both. Sample cost is credited back against your first bulk order.

How do I pay, and what protects me if the goods are wrong?+

30% advance, 70% against B/L copy — so 70% of your money is still with you when the goods leave the port. You get photos of the actual production run before the balance is due. You can also appoint a third-party inspector (SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek, roughly $300–$500 for a single inspection) to check the goods at our factory before you release the balance; we will schedule it and give them access. If a shipment does not match the approved sample, we remake or credit it.

Do I need an import licence to buy this?+

In most countries, no — not for commercial quantities of ordinary cotton textiles. In the US, UK, EU, UAE, Australia and Canada, a business tax or VAT registration number is normally all that is required, and your freight forwarder or customs broker files the entry for you. Some markets do require an importer registration (Saudi Arabia and Egypt among them). Tell us your country and we will tell you plainly what you need before you commit any money.

What does it cost delivered to my door, not FOB?+

FOB means the price to get goods loaded onto the ship at Cochin port — freight, duty and local delivery are on top. As a rough guide, sea freight adds $0.15–$0.45 per towel on a shared container and less on a full one; import duty is typically 6–12% depending on your country. We quote CIF (freight included) or DDP (everything included, delivered to your address) on request, so you can compare one final number instead of guessing. Our landed-cost calculator does the arithmetic for you.

Can I order without any certification requirement?+

Yes, absolutely. Certification is not a hoop we make you jump through — it is simply how we already manufacture. Every piece is made under OEKO-TEX Standard 100 whether you ask for the certificate or not, and it costs you nothing extra. If you do not need the paperwork, do not ask for it and nothing about your order or price changes. Buyers who supply hotel groups or EU retailers usually want the documents; an Airbnb host or a salon owner almost never does.

How long from order to goods in my hands?+

30–45 days for production, plus shipping. Sea freight is 10–16 days to the Gulf, 22–30 days to Europe and the UK, 28–38 days to the US east coast, and 18–25 days to Australia. Air freight cuts that to 3–5 days but costs roughly 6–8× more per kilo, so it is worth it for samples and rarely worth it for bulk. Plan on about 8–10 weeks door to door for a first sea shipment.

How do I know you are a real factory and not a middleman?+

Fair question, and one you should ask everyone. We are a manufacturer in Kerala, India — you can video-call the floor during Indian working hours with no notice, and we will walk the looms and the dye house for you. We will also give you our IEC (Import Export Code) and GST registration to verify independently. A trading company will usually decline a live unscheduled video call, which is the cheapest test you can run on any supplier.

Can you put my brand on it?+

Yes. Woven labels, printed care labels, embroidered logos, custom packaging and retail barcodes are all standard. Logo embroidery adds about $0.30–$0.60 per piece; a custom woven label adds about $0.06–$0.12. Private-label MOQ is 2,000 pieces per SKU rather than 500, because the label and packaging themselves carry a minimum run.
