India-made, OEKO-TEX & GOTS certified throws and blankets for Irish 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 woven, quilted, printed and embroidered throws and blankets to Ireland 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 Irish department stores, home-furnishing chains, design-led independents and hospitality buyers.

Ireland Trade Logistics
We despatch out of Mundra and Nhava Sheva (JNPT), India's two largest container ports, with direct and transhipment sailings to Ireland on Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, ONE and Hapag-Lloyd services.
Dublin for national distribution, Cork for Munster DCs, Rosslare for south-east consolidation, and Belfast for Northern Ireland and cross-border programmes.
26–32 days ocean transit plus customs. Total order-to-DC lead time is typically 78–100 days from confirmation, depending on fabric development and sampling approval.
EU REACH & CE-compliant test reports, fibre composition labels per EU Textile Regulation 1007/2011, SEDEX SMETA audit reports and GOTS / OEKO-TEX certificates of compliance issued per shipment.
Ireland Trade Intelligence
Beyond the generic sourcing process, successful India-to-Ireland throws programmes hinge on four country-specific realities: the India–Ireland shipping corridor, the duty and trade-agreement landscape, Ireland-specific textile and product compliance, and Ireland retailer commit cycles. Each is covered below.
Trade Lane
Dublin Port is Ireland's primary container gateway. Most India-to-Ireland cargo is transshipped via Rotterdam, Felixstowe or Liverpool on short-sea feeder services — total transit from Mundra typically runs 26–30 days. Cork (Ringaskiddy) handles Munster and southern-Ireland cargo. Post-Brexit, some Ireland-bound cargo that historically moved via UK land-bridge has shifted to direct Rotterdam–Dublin short-sea sailings to avoid UK customs formalities.
Duty & FTA
Throws and blankets classify under HS 6301.30 (cotton blankets and travelling rugs) and HS 6301.40 (synthetic blankets and travelling rugs). Ireland imports under the EU Common Customs Tariff; the India–EU FTA is under negotiation but not yet in force. MFN duties on HS Chapter 63 home-textile lines apply. Irish import VAT (23%) is levied on CIF value plus duty. Ireland's Revenue Commissioners operate the Automated Import System (AIS) — cargo typically clears within 24 hours of vessel discharge with correct electronic documentation.
Compliance
EU REACH Regulation 1907/2006 governs SVHC and AZO-dye restrictions. EU Textile Labelling Regulation 1007/2011 mandates fibre-composition labels in English (Ireland's primary commercial language). Irish retailers typically align with UK retailer requirements (BS 5852 for hospitality upholstery) given overlapping supply bases. Modern Slavery Act-equivalent disclosure is covered by the Irish Criminal Justice (Human Trafficking) Act 2008 and emerging EU CSDDD obligations. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and Sedex SMETA are baseline expectations.
Commit Cycle
Irish home-textile buyers commit AW ranges in late January and SS ranges in August. Ireland's principal gift and home-lifestyle trade show is Showcase Ireland (Dublin, January) — the primary event where Irish retailers meet Indian suppliers. Many Irish buyers also attend Spring Fair Birmingham and Autumn Fair alongside UK counterparts, plus Maison&Objet Paris for design-led ranges. The Delhi Fair (October) draws a growing contingent of Irish private-label buyers.
Throws & Blankets Range for Ireland Buyers
Every construction below can be produced in cotton, GRS recycled polyester, wool blends, linen or bouclé yarns. Full product detail on the main Throws & Blankets page.
Irish & EU Compliance
Irish retailers specify OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GOTS, GRS and BCI certifications across most home-textile programmes, and expect the social-compliance frameworks used by UK and EU retailers. Factory-level audits include SA 8000, BSCI and Sedex SMETA. Full certification detail on our Sustainability page.
