Export manufacturing: make in India, sell worldwide
We make products in India and pack, document and ship them to buyers in the GCC, UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, China and Hong Kong, South-East Asia and Africa. Tell us your destination at inquiry stage so label wording, documents and packaging are planned from the start.
Selling abroad adds decisions that are easiest to make before production: label language and wording, the documents your importer or retailer asks for, and how shipments are packed. Responsibilities are shared between the brand owner, the importer and the manufacturer, and they differ by country.
Markets we ship to
Read the market pages for what buyers typically ask for and who is responsible for what: European Union, Africa, Saudi Arabia, and the full list of export markets.
How an export project runs
- Name the market. Destination, channel and importer shape everything else.
- Plan labels and documents. We prepare the product documents we can supply and coordinate testing your importer asks for.
- Produce. Manufacturing and packing follow the plan.
- Ship. We pack, document and dispatch from India.
