CETA tariff figures are general policy information, not a quote for your specific product. Actual duty depends on HS code and rules of origin.

Why Now

CETA Changes the Sourcing Maths for UK Brands

For years, sourcing from India carried a tariff disadvantage against countries with existing UK trade deals. CETA closes that gap on a large share of apparel categories, which is why more UK brands are actively looking at Indian manufacturers again.

📉

Lower landed cost on eligible categories

Reduced tariffs on covered tariff lines can materially change your per-unit landed cost — worth recalculating even if you priced India out before.

🏭

Deep manufacturing base

India has long-established garment manufacturing clusters, particularly around Delhi-NCR (Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad), with capacity across knits, wovens and accessories.

🔍

The trust gap is the real barrier

Tariffs were never the only issue — verifying a manufacturer, monitoring production, and coordinating logistics from the UK is hard without a presence on the ground. That's the problem IMCOTO is built to solve.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) came into force on 15 July 2026 and removes tariffs of up to 12% on around 1,143 textile and apparel tariff lines. Actual duty on your specific product depends on its HS code and rules of origin, so we recommend checking the exact classification with a customs broker before finalising costs.
No. IMCOTO is built specifically for UK brands that don't have a sourcing presence in India. We handle manufacturer identification, verification, quality checks and coordination on your behalf.
MOQ varies by manufacturer and product complexity. We share the exact MOQ, pricing and lead time for your specific requirement after your enquiry, before you commit to anything.
We verify manufacturers through business registration checks, factory visits or virtual audits, and sample evaluation before listing them in our network. Manufacturer identity is coordinated through IMCOTO throughout the order to keep the process managed end-to-end.
Payment terms are agreed per order and typically follow standard export practice (advance plus balance, or LC for larger orders). We'll confirm exact terms with you before production begins.
