Why India

Why US Fashion Brands & D2C Labels Source from India

The United States is India's single largest garment export destination, accounting for approximately 27% of India's total apparel exports — over $4.5 billion annually. American brands from Fortune 500 retailers to Etsy micro-labels have sourced from India for decades, attracted by craft quality, diverse fabric options, and competitive pricing.

For US D2C brands, Amazon private label sellers, and boutique fashion labels, India offers a unique advantage: low MOQs with craft embellishments (embroidery, prints, mirror work) that cannot be replicated at comparable cost in China, Bangladesh, or Cambodia. India is the only mass-manufacturing country with cottage industry craft techniques operating at commercial scale.

Section 301 tariffs applicable to Chinese goods do NOT apply to Indian-origin goods — giving Indian manufacturers a significant and immediate cost advantage over China for US buyers.

Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods do NOT apply to Indian-origin garments — a direct and significant price advantage for US buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions from United States Fashion Brands

Most Indian garments pay MFN duties under the US HTS. Rates vary by product: woven cotton blouses 15.9%, men's cotton shirts 19.7%, knitted t-shirts 16.5%. Crucially, Section 301 tariffs applicable to Chinese goods do NOT apply to Indian-origin goods, giving Indian manufacturers a significant cost advantage over China.
Yes, this is a growing segment for us. For Amazon FBA sellers, we produce garments with FNSKU barcode labels, ASIN-specific packaging, and master carton markings. For Etsy sellers, we offer MOQs from 50 pcs with artisanal craft elements — hand block print, hand embroidery, mirror work — that help differentiate Etsy listings.
RN numbers are issued free of charge by the FTC at ftc.gov/rn. You'll need to apply online with your US business details. We recommend obtaining your RN before your first bulk order so it can be included on care labels. If you haven't yet obtained an RN, we can use your company name on care labels in the interim — the FTC allows either.
Yes. For US children's garments, we follow CPSA/CPSIA requirements: no drawstrings on hooded garments (size 2T–12), flammability testing (16 CFR Part 1615/1616) available from accredited labs, lead-free trims, and correct children's HTS classification. Third-party testing through SGS, Intertek, or Bureau Veritas can be arranged.
Air freight from Delhi (IGI) to New York (JFK) takes 5–7 transit days; Los Angeles (LAX) 7–9 days; Chicago (ORD) 6–8 days. Door-to-door with customs clearance is 7–11 days. Sea freight via Los Angeles or New York/Newark takes 22–28 days and is economical for orders above 500 kg.
