Why brands source clothing from India
Raw material at home
India grows and spins its own cotton and makes viscose and other fibres, so many manufacturers source fabric locally instead of waiting on imported yarn.
Range under one roof
From basics in volume to embroidered and hand-finished pieces, one country covers both ends of a range, which makes it practical to consolidate suppliers.
Duty-free into the UK
Since the India–UK trade agreement came into force on 15 July 2026, Indian textiles and apparel enter the UK at zero duty. Rules of origin apply, so confirm the fabric source per style.
EU access on the way
India and the EU concluded their trade agreement on 27 January 2026, with zero duty on textiles once it applies. It still needs ratification and is expected from 2027.
What you can make with Indian manufacturers on Zushi

Common questions
How do I find a reliable clothing manufacturer in India?
Shortlist by product first (Tirupur for knitwear, Delhi NCR for fashion wovens, Bengaluru for larger woven programmes), then verify the business and the facility before you pay for samples. On Zushi, manufacturers have passed KYC, a site audit and quality checks before they can quote, and you compare their quotes side by side.
What is the MOQ for clothing manufacturers in India?
It varies with the product, fabric and factory, so Zushi does not publish one figure. Knitted basics in stock fabric usually allow smaller runs than custom-dyed or woven styles. Put your quantity per style and colour in the RFQ and the quotes will show who can take it.
Is there import duty on clothing from India to the UK?
Since 15 July 2026, textiles and apparel from India enter the UK at zero duty under the India–UK trade agreement, provided the goods meet its rules of origin. Check the origin requirements for each style with your customs broker.
Which compliance certifications do Indian manufacturers hold?
Export manufacturers in India commonly hold social audits such as amfori BSCI, Sedex SMETA or WRAP, and product certifications such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX. Holdings differ by factory, so ask for the specific standard your buyer requires. Zushi will tell you whether a given manufacturer holds it.
