Velvet Fabric Exporter in India
Shailesh Velvet Industries is a velvet fabric exporter in India, supplying woven and knitted pile fabrics to importers, buying houses and distributors overseas. We manufacture at our own units in Bhiwandi and Vasai, near Mumbai, and have made velvet under the Kedarnath Velvet name for close to forty years. Overseas enquiries are answered with quality options, widths, weights and a quotation on the Incoterm you work to. Samples go out before bulk, and orders can be supplied by the than (roll) or by the metre, depending on your programme.
What we export
Our range covers brasso (burnout) velvet on a chiffon base, knitted two-way stretch and lycra velvet, Kashmiri and digital print velvet, micro velvet, flock velvet, upholstery velvet, 100% cotton velvet, viscose (rayon) velvet, and dyeable RFD velvet supplied undyed. Fur, foil-print and sequinned fancy fabrics run alongside the velvet lines. Widths run from about 42 to 64 inches depending on the quality, with weights from light dress-weight pile up to heavy furnishing cloth. Shades are matched to a physical swatch or a Pantone reference, and embossed, crushed and printed finishes are available on suitable bases.
How an order moves from enquiry to bulk
Send the quality, width, weight, shade and quantity you need, or send a swatch and we will match it. We reply with what we can run, the price on your chosen Incoterm and the packing you can expect. Next comes sampling: a hanger or cut length for hand-feel, and lab-dips for shade approval. Nothing goes into bulk production until you sign off the sample and the shade. Bulk is then produced, checked and packed for despatch, and we share photographs and packing details before the consignment leaves.
Export documentation and compliance
We are GST-registered and hold an Import-Export Code (IEC), so consignments ship in our own name. Velvet and other pile fabrics are classified under HSN 6001; the exact eight-digit sub-heading depends on construction and fibre, and is confirmed on the invoice. Azo-free dyeing is available and should be stated on the purchase order so the lot is run to it. The standard papers are a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading or air waybill, with a certificate of origin arranged where your customs authority asks for one. Additional declarations can be provided on request.
Shipping, packing and payment
Sea consignments go out of Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and air consignments from Mumbai (BOM). Quotations are commonly given EXW, FOB or CIF, whichever suits how you buy. Goods are rolled on cores, wrapped in polythene, and packed into bales or cartons for sea freight; roll length, gross and net weight are listed on the packing list. Payment is usually by T/T or by irrevocable letter of credit, with the split between advance and balance agreed order by order. Shipping marks, roll lengths and carton counts can follow your instructions if you have a warehouse format.
Working with a velvet fabric exporter in India
Most buyers who import velvet fabric from India start with one quality and a small trial, then widen the range once the hand-feel and shade hold up in their market. That suits how we work. We are a velvet fabric supplier for importers and distributors rather than a trading desk, so weaving, dyeing, finishing and packing are handled in-house for our own lines. For bulk velvet fabric export we hold the approved sample against repeat lots, so a reorder six months later matches the first shipment. Communication is over email or WhatsApp, in English, during your working hours where possible.

What is the minimum order for an export consignment?
MOQ is negotiable and depends on the quality and whether the shade is a stock colour or a custom match. Custom colours need a larger run than stock shades. Tell us your quantity and we will confirm what is workable.
Can I get samples before placing a bulk order?
Yes. We send swatches or a cut length so you can check pile, weight and hand-feel, plus lab-dips for shade. Bulk starts only after you approve both.
Which Incoterms and payment terms do you work on?
EXW, FOB and CIF are the usual quotes, with payment by T/T or letter of credit. The exact split and terms are agreed for each order before production begins.
Do you supply azo-free velvet for the EU market?
Azo-free dyeing is available. State the requirement on your purchase order and the lot is run to it. Third-party testing at a laboratory you nominate can be arranged at your cost.
What HS code applies to velvet fabric?
Velvet is a pile fabric under heading 6001. The full eight-digit code depends on construction and fibre content, and duty at your end is set by your own customs tariff.
How is the fabric packed for sea freight?
Rolls are wound on cores, wrapped in polythene and packed into bales or cartons. Roll lengths, shipping marks and carton counts can follow your warehouse format if you send the specification.
