Chinese silk was the main Chinese commodity which was exported to India. Sometimes this was brought as gift item by the Chinese diplomatic missions for Indian rulers and abbots. Chinese silk continued to be of great demand among Indian elite and religious groups because it had a special value and prestige attached to the commodity .

Moreover, by the eleventh century, Chinese porcelain had replaced silk as main commodity of import to India.
