I think it is much safer to be more general than too specific here-ie I also prefer 'home textiles' instead of 'linen drapery' and 'import-trade' as a more common use instead of 'importation-trading' which is much more formal for use in such sector.

However,I thank you all.

Θεώρησα το \"Trade\" περιττό διότι αν κάποιος κάνει εισαγωγές, εννοείται ότι στη συνέχεια προωθεί το εμπόρευμα στην αγορά της χώρας στην οποία το εισάγει. Αν είναι παρανόηση δική μου και η εταιρεία ασχολείται ΚΑΙ με τη διακίνηση εμπορεύματος τοπικής παραγωγής KAI με εισαγωγές, τότε προτείνω: \"Curtain & Linen Imports and Trading\".
