Frequently asked

What is the current import duty for home decor and handicrafts from India to France?
France imports through the European Union, so standard EU import duty applies to Indian goods today. The EU and India concluded a free trade agreement in January 2026, but it is not yet in force (ratification is expected to take until around 2027). That means current duty rates have not changed yet. You should confirm the applicable rate for your specific HS code with your customs broker or freight forwarder. The coming agreement is a strong reason to start building supplier relationships in India now, so you are ready to benefit as soon as preferential terms take effect.
Why source home decor and handicrafts from India instead of China?
India is a leading China Plus One alternative for home decor and handicrafts. Indian factories offer competitive pricing, lower minimum order quantities, and English-language communication, which makes coordination straightforward for French buyers. The country has a deep and diverse manufacturer base spanning metalwork, woodcraft, textiles, pottery, and more. With the EU-India free trade agreement concluded and ratification on the horizon, locking in reliable Indian suppliers now positions you for even better terms in the near future.
What are the minimum order quantities, and can I get samples first?
Minimum order quantities from Indian home decor and handicraft manufacturers tend to be significantly lower than those from large-scale Chinese factories, making India accessible even for smaller importers or boutique retailers. Many factories are willing to produce sample orders or send individual pieces for quality approval before you commit to a full production run. When you submit a request through Sauda, you can specify your target quantity and ask for sample terms, and we will negotiate both on your behalf.
Is Sauda really free for buyers? How does Sauda make money?
Yes, Sauda is completely free for buyers. You pay nothing to use the service. Sauda earns a small commission from the supplier side once a deal is completed. This model means our incentive is aligned with yours: we find you the lowest verified price so the deal actually happens.
How does Sauda verify Indian suppliers?
Sauda checks each supplier's GST filings and returns before presenting any quote. This confirms the factory is a real, compliant, actively trading business, not a listing from an online directory. By filtering out inactive or non-compliant entities upfront, we ensure that every quote you receive comes from a genuine manufacturer you can trust to fulfil your order.
How quickly can I receive quotes, and what does the process look like?
After you submit your sourcing request (product details, target quantity, and any quality or packaging requirements), Sauda identifies matching GST-verified factories across India's key production clusters, contacts them directly, and negotiates pricing on your behalf. You receive the cheapest live quotes within 24 hours, complete with supplier details, so you can compare and decide. The entire process is handled for you at no cost.
