Hand-knotted wool rugs on a Kathmandu loom, rendered
AI render: hand-knotted wool rugs on a Kathmandu loom.

Nepal’s factories, open to buyers in every time zone.

Most Nepali export rugs are woven in the Kathmandu Valley, where Tibetan-style knotting is a long tradition. Pashmina, felt and handmade paper add range for decor buyers.

Buyer markets, currencies and Incoterms

Buyer markets

The US and Germany are the main buyers of Nepali rugs, with the UK, the rest of Europe and Australia following. Interior designers often order one custom rug at a time.

Currencies buyers quote in

Rug prices are quoted in US dollars or euros per square metre or square foot. Local costs are in rupees, so set how long each quote holds.

Incoterms buyers expect

Many rugs ship by air, quoted EXW or FCA Kathmandu. Container orders move by road to Kolkata and leave on FOB terms from there.

Ports and shipping lanes

Nepal is landlocked. Sea freight goes overland to Kolkata or Haldia in India, and air freight leaves from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu.

  • Each enquiry lands in your inbox with the products, quantities and terms the buyer asked about, so your team replies with context.

Questions from Nepal manufacturers

Can buyers order custom sizes and colours?
Yes. Custom sizes and colours reach your inbox as price on request, with the buyer’s measurements, design notes and email. You work out the price and weaving time, and one click turns the enquiry into a quote.
Can we show labour and origin certificates?
Yes, in each rug’s description. Name certificates such as GoodWeave on the rugs they cover, so the assistant answers labour questions from that text. Send copies of the certificates with the quote you send.
How do we handle strike-offs and samples?
Sample and strike-off requests arrive in your inbox with the design, colours and size. You set the charge and the courier, and one click turns the same enquiry into the bulk quote once the buyer approves.
Can we try the Digital Booth before paying?
Yes. Send photos of 5 products and Poly9 builds a private preview of your Digital Booth. You check the names, materials, sizes and finishes, correct anything that looks wrong, and pay when you are ready to publish it for buyers.
Will the AI ever quote a price we did not set?
No. The booth shows only the prices you set, in your website currency. Quotes you send carry the Incoterm and port you choose. When a buyer asks for something you have not priced, it replies with price on request and sends the enquiry to your inbox for your team.
