Duvets
Sourcing Duvets from Magnificent India - United Kingdom Import Guide
Before ordering, verify the exact fill material, tog rating, and whether the cotton shell has been pre-shrunk. Request a physical sample to assess fill density and fabric handfeel. Confirm if the duvet meets UK or EU fire safety standards (BS 7177 or EN 1102) if intended for hospitality use. Do not accept claims of certification without seeing the test certificate.
Confirm the Incoterms offered - FOB UK port or DDP destination are common. Lead time is typically 15 to 30 days for stocked items, longer for custom orders. MOQ is not stated; buyers must request it. Payment terms are often 50% advance and 50% against shipping documents. Always require a commercial invoice with HS code 9404.90 and a packing list detailing fill weight per unit.
Upon delivery, check for even fill distribution by shaking and pressing the duvet. Look for stitching gaps, loose threads, or fill clumping. Use a moisture meter to ensure fabric moisture content is below 8%. Retain a sample from each batch. Request a certificate of conformity and a test report for fill weight and fire safety if supplying to regulated environments.
