How do I import sarees and fabric from Surat to my country?

A typical import process:

• Find suppliers through markets in our Surat directory, trade fairs or a sourcing agent.
• Sample: courier one or two pieces to check quality and colour.
• Agree terms: price, currency, quantity, delivery date, packing and who pays freight.
• Pay by SWIFT bank transfer, or a letter of credit for large orders.
• Ship: air courier for small or urgent orders; sea freight via Hazira (near Surat) or Nhava Sheva (near Mumbai) for volume.
• Clear customs in your country with the invoice, packing list and shipping documents.

Buyers in the UK, USA, Canada, the UAE, Australia, Africa and Southeast Asia import from Surat this way every day.
