Private Label · New Zealand
India-made, OEKO-TEX & GOTS certified bath mats and shower curtains for New Zealand department stores, home-furnishing chains and design-led independents and hospitality buyers.
Trade Partner
Abhi Home has manufactured home textiles in India since 1965. We supply bath mats and shower curtains to New Zealand retailers, importers and hospitality groups under their own private-label programmes — from single-design repeat orders to 20-SKU seasonal ranges. Our facility is OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GOTS, GRS and BCI certified, and we hold Sedex, SA 8000 and BSCI social audits against the compliance frameworks typically required by New Zealand department stores, home-furnishing chains, design-led independents and hospitality buyers.

New Zealand Trade Logistics
We despatch out of Mundra and Nhava Sheva (JNPT), India's two largest container ports, with direct and transhipment sailings to New Zealand on Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, ONE and Hapag-Lloyd services.
Auckland for North Island DCs, Tauranga for Bay-of-Plenty and central-North Island programmes, Lyttelton for South Island distribution, and Wellington for Wellington-region consolidation.
26–32 days ocean transit plus customs. Total order-to-DC lead time is typically 80–100 days from confirmation, depending on fabric development and sampling approval.
AS/NZS 1957 textile care-labelling conformity, Fair Trading Act-aligned product-information documentation, flammability reports where applicable, SEDEX SMETA audit reports and OEKO-TEX certificates of compliance per shipment.
New Zealand Trade Intelligence
Beyond the generic sourcing process, successful India-to-New Zealand bath mat and shower curtain programmes hinge on four country-specific realities: the India–New Zealand shipping corridor, the duty and trade-agreement landscape, New Zealand-specific textile and product compliance, and New Zealand retailer commit cycles. Each is covered below.
Trade Lane
Auckland and Tauranga are New Zealand's primary container ports, with Lyttelton (Christchurch) handling South Island cargo. India-to-NZ cargo is typically routed via Singapore transhipment with onward services from Sydney or Melbourne — total transit from Nhava Sheva typically 24–28 days. Auckland handles the largest share of Indian-origin home-textile imports given the North-Island retail concentration.
Duty & FTA
Bath mats classify under HS 5703 (tufted carpets) or HS 6304 (other furnishing articles, woven); shower curtains classify under HS 6303 (curtains and interior blinds). India and New Zealand do not currently have a comprehensive free-trade agreement; FTA negotiations have been intermittent. New Zealand MFN duties on HS Chapter 63 home-textile lines are relatively low by global standards — typically in the 0–10% range depending on composition. New Zealand GST (15%) applies on landed value plus duty. The New Zealand Customs Service operates an efficient Trade Single Window system for electronic declarations.
Compliance
The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 govern product information and safety. AS/NZS 1957 and related standards cover textile labelling requirements. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is the baseline chemical-safety expectation for NZ mid-market and premium retailers; Sedex SMETA 4-pillar audits satisfy ethical-sourcing requirements.
Commit Cycle
New Zealand home-textile buyers commit AW ranges in August for Southern-Hemisphere March delivery and SS ranges in February for October delivery. Principal sourcing events: Gift Fair NZ (Auckland) in April and October, and Trenz NZ for hospitality contracts. Many NZ private-label and retail-group buyers attend Reed Gift Fair Sydney and Melbourne alongside Australian counterparts, and travel directly to the Delhi Fair (October) for Indian engagement.

Every item below is produced from buyer artwork or our open-line designs in 100% cotton, cotton blends, polyester or GOTS organic / GRS recycled bases.

New Zealand Compliance
New Zealand retailers specify OEKO-TEX Standard 100 across home-textile programmes, with GOTS, GRS and BCI increasingly required by premium and design-led buyers. Our manufacturing holds SA 8000, BSCI and Sedex SMETA social audits. We supply AS/NZS 1957 care-labelling documentation per shipment. Full certification detail on our Sustainability page.
