Clothing Manufacturer for Saudi Arabia & GCC Importers

We ship private-label apparel to buyers across the GCC, not only the Emirates. Riyadh and Jeddah, Doha, Kuwait City, Manama and Muscat are all destinations we send to; what varies between them is the route and the timeline, not the way we work.

Saudi Arabia is usually the simplest of the group: most consignments leave JNPT near Mumbai for Dammam or Jeddah Islamic Port and are on the water for roughly nine to fourteen days, with door-to-door delivery realistically three to five weeks once collection in Pushkar, export clearance and your own clearance are counted. Oman is often the fastest of the peninsula routings at eight to twelve days on the water; Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait typically run ten to sixteen, and several of them are transshipped through Jebel Ali, which adds waiting time that is invisible on a carrier's schedule.

Because of that, we quote transit as a range rather than a date, and we build a week of slack into the first order while your clearing agent's process is still new. Air freight is available for short runs, wedding drops and top-ups between seasons — three to five days door to door — and sample parcels go out the same week by courier.

Four things make up most of what we send to Gulf buyers outside the Emirates.

• —

  Resort wear

  Kaftans, maxi dresses, cover-ups, sarongs and co-ord sets in voile, linen and rayon — cloth chosen for heat, and for how it behaves after a season of sun and salt.

• —

  Kaftans and abaya-adjacent silhouettes

  Full-length, floor-skimming and open-front kaftans in opaque weights, with matching belts, contrast piping and hand-block or embroidered borders. Cuts are drafted to sit generously rather than close to the body.

• —

  Long-sleeve and relaxed-fit cuts

  The same cloth and prints as the summer range, with sleeves extended to the wrist, necklines raised, and ease added through the bust, hip and hem. Breathability is protected by fibre choice — cotton voile, poplin, linen and linen-cotton — rather than by taking length off.

• —

  Modest-wear adaptations on request

  Length, sleeve, neck, transparency and lining are all adjustable. Where a cloth runs sheer we line it; where a hem needs to fall below the ankle, we redraw the pattern. Nothing about a shape is fixed, and we would rather move the block than lose the order.

Customization is the default, not the exception. Most orders begin as a silhouette from our resort wear or hand-block prints range and end as something specific to your shop — length, sleeve, neck, print scale and colour all moved to your brief. Our UAE page describes the same capability under the CEPA zero-duty arrangement, and the block-print process behind much of the range is set out on the homepage catalogues.

The GCC runs a common external tariff, but it is applied by five separate customs administrations, and each one adds its own requirements on top. Saudi Arabia, for example, expects goods to be registered and cleared through its own conformity system before shipment, while other markets in the group are content with the standard set. Duty is commonly around 5% of CIF value on garments, with VAT accounted for separately at clearance — but the rate that matters is the one attached to your HS code in the country you are importing into, and it is not ours to guess.

So confirm it yourself, with your clearing agent, before you place the order and not after: current duty on your HS code, whether a certificate of origin is needed to claim any preference, which conformity or inspection certificates your customs authority expects, and how the goods must be labelled in the destination market. Ask early, because a certificate that has to be raised after the cartons are sealed is slow and expensive.

What we provide with every consignment:

Commercial documents

Commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value, packing list with carton marks, weights and measures

Transport

Bill of lading for sea shipments, airway bill for air, insurance certificate on CIF terms

Origin

Non-preferential Certificate of Origin issued in India; GCC buyers use it to establish Indian origin

Product marking

Fibre-composition and country-of-origin labels printed or woven to your market's language and format

On request

Pre-shipment inspection or conformity certificates, mill test reports, restricted-substance test reports — arranged before production begins

Tell us your destination country at the start and we prepare the file to that country's expectations rather than a generic one. If your clearing agent needs a specific document form, send it over and we complete it.

Minimum order

50 pieces per style, per colourway

Run size

Up to 5,000 pieces per style

Terms

FOB Mumbai or CIF your GCC port

Payment

Deposit to begin production, balance before dispatch, by bank transfer

Fifty pieces per style, per colourway, split across your size set in whatever ratio sells in your shop. Two styles at fifty each is a perfectly good first order, and it is how most of our long-standing accounts began. Above five hundred pieces per style the rate improves; collections are quoted above two thousand, and multi-style programmes are costed together — the bulk and wholesale orders page sets out how those larger runs are planned and paid for.

Terms are quoted in writing with dates committed before payment. Plan on seven to ten weeks from first conversation to cartons at your door for a straightforward cotton style, and twelve to fourteen with custom printing, embroidery or redrawn blocks. Start from the homepage to browse the sample catalogues, or send us the styles, quantities and your delivery city and we will come back with a landed-cost estimate rather than only an ex-factory price.
