The market
How Qatari brands buy bed linen
Made for hotel laundries
Qatari hotels launder hard and often, so bed linen is specified for durability and colourfastness as well as hand, and sampled against the hotel's own laundry process.
Flat sheets as top sheets
Many hotels make up beds with a flat sheet under the duvet, so flat sheets are a core line in a Qatari hotel programme.
Bed runners and cushions
Hotel rooms are often finished with a bed runner and cushions in the property's colours, which we make in the same order.
Shipping
Getting goods to Qatar
| Destination | Ports | Transit from Nhava Sheva |
|---|---|---|
| Doha | Hamad Port | About 8 to 14 days |
Planning ranges from Nhava Sheva, direct or via Jebel Ali, before customs clearance.
Customs clearance
Goods clear Qatari customs through your broker under the GCC common tariff, with the commercial documents and certificate of origin.
Hotel delivery
Hotel programmes are often packed and labelled by room type or floor, set in the specification so goods go straight into service.
Documents from us
Commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, with export clearance and inland transport to the port handled at our end.
Duty
Trade terms
There is no trade agreement between India and Qatar in force, so the GCC common external tariff applies. India and the Gulf Cooperation Council launched negotiations on a free trade agreement in February 2026.
Verified on 6 October 2026 against the sources below. Duty and trade terms change, so confirm the current position before you price: Qatar General Authority of Customs.
Labelling
What the label must carry
- Fibre content, care and country of origin.
- Text in Arabic, usually with English, following Gulf practice.
- For hotel programmes, the hotel's own care or tracking labels where specified.
Labels are built into production to the wording in your specification.
Market rules
Rules worth knowing
What a buyer selling into Qatar is expected to have in hand, beyond the label. Each links to its official source. Verified on 6 October 2026.
Arabic labelling
Following Gulf practice, retail textile labels for Qatar carry their information in Arabic, usually alongside English.
GCC tariff
Qatar applies the GCC common external tariff, and India-GCC free trade talks began in 2026, so the duty position may change.
Laundry-tested hotel specifications
Hotel buyers commonly test sampled bed linen in their own laundry before approving bulk, so samples are sent early in the programme.
