Short answer
Air courier typically reaches major destinations in a few working days. Sea freight usually takes several weeks door to door, depending on the destination port and customs clearance.
Plan for production time as well as transit. Catalogue stock can ship within days, while custom orders need production time first. Before Diwali, Eid and the wedding seasons, Surat's factories and transport are at full capacity, so add a buffer.
As a rule of thumb, overseas retailers who want festive stock on shelves for Diwali finalise orders six to eight weeks ahead.
