Why India for footwear sourcing?
India offers competitive manufacturing capability, a wide non-leather material base, and established export experience across Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. For international buyers, the key is finding a partner who can coordinate product selection, specifications, quality and shipment support consistently.
Step 1: Define your product requirement
Start with category (casual, sports, sandals, slides, etc.), target price band, size range, colours, MOQ and whether private label or custom packaging is required. The clearer your brief, the faster you receive an accurate quotation.
Step 2: Review specifications and samples
Request product codes, material details, sole type, packing method and lead time. Where samples are applicable, approve workmanship, colour and branding before bulk production.
Step 3: Agree commercial terms
Confirm MOQ, Incoterm (FOB/CFR/CIF where offered), payment terms, production lead time and claims policy. Export documentation should be agreed before shipment.
Step 4: Quality coordination
Agree what checks will be performed against approved specifications — material, assembly, size/colour verification, packing and pre-shipment review.
Step 5: Shipment planning
Share destination port, expected volume and preferred shipment mode (LCL or FCL). Transit estimates depend on carrier schedules and destination conditions.
