How To Export Apparel In Bulk From India To UAE?

India has been one of the major clothing exporters in the world for a decade now. Several reasons are there that have made this country a big player in the global fashion market. For example, one can get different types of embroideries and clothing designs owing to ethnic and cultural diversity. Fusion apparels are more popular in India where the western and core Indian cultures are combined to bring out a new style. Besides, clothes are produced in bulk to meet the global requirements, with low production costs. Therefore, exporting apparel for your UAE-based brand from India is definitely advantageous and lucrative. 

However, to export the clothing goods from the Indian manufacturers and suppliers, there are certain criteria you must meet. In this forthcoming article, we have explained the most crucial requirements of the Indian export market in the fashion and clothing industry. 

Completing the one-time registration 

The first thing that you need to do is get your registration done with the Indian government. This will be a one-time registration that can be a generalized license or special licenses based on specific goods that are associated with several constraints. To complete the registration successfully, you must have an established business in the UAE, with proper tax and trade license. 

Choosing the right clothing supplier and exporter in India

Once you are done with the registration, your next task will be to choose the right supplier and exporter of clothes you want to add in your shop’s collection. Not all suppliers will provide the same type of garments. For example, you will get separate manufacturers for western clothes, fusion dresses, ethnic dresses, sarees, and more. Therefore, you must choose the supplier and exporter as per your demands. Also, you must check the fabric quality used by the supplier, sizes manufactured, and more. If you want to have custom clothing, make sure the chosen supplier offers the provision. 

Placing the order with MOQs 

You must place the order with the MOQs, or the minimum order requirements. It is a threshold limit that you must meet for getting the order processed. For example, some suppliers will ask you to place an order of 200 units minimum while others may give you the condition to place the order worth INR 50,000. Usually, the more popular the supplier is, the higher the limits of orders. So, if you simply want to try out an Indian-based clothing style, it’s better to go with a small manufacturer whose MOQs can be met easily. 

Presenting the required documents

Make sure to gather all the required documents, like the trade license, export registration document, business proofs, and more. Unless these documents are in place, you won’t be able to process the export process and your goods will be stopped at the customs only. Apart from this, if you don’t show the documents, you might get stuck in illegal charges which will further lead to complications. 

Gaining clearance at customs 

After you show all the necessary documents, you will have to do some other procedures at the customs till you get the clearance. Without the permission from customs, you won’t be able to load the goods to ship or flight. 

Conclusion 

With the Indian fashion industry becoming more and more popular, you can easily create a diverse Indian wear collection in your UAE-based fashion business. However, make sure to export the clothes in proper manner, with the custom clearance documents in hand so that you don’t have to face any consequences later on.
