Planning garment orders for Jos
Hot and humid for much of the year, with rains from April to October. Demand peaks before Christmas, Easter, Eid and the wedding season (November to February), so orders are placed 3–4 months ahead. We ship from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Lagos in about 25–40 days; production takes 25 to 60 days, so confirm peak-season orders for Jos three to five months ahead.
How an order reaches Jos
Goods for Jos are cut, sewn and finished in our partner factories, inspected on an AQL basis and consolidated at our Gujarat base, then loaded at Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva. The container is discharged at Lagos, and your clearing agent moves it on to Jos. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.
Importers in Jos usually start with a mixed first container to test the market: two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles. Repeat orders then concentrate on the lines that sell, which shortens the lead time because fabric and patterns are already on file.
Why importers in Jos source garments from India
Buyers want bold printed shirts, ready-made kaftans, T-shirts, jeans, leggings, school uniforms and church and wedding wear. Indian factories supply the fabrics these buyers ask for, such as cotton, rayon, linen blends, denim and knits, in small design runs, which suits importers in Jos who test a range before they commit to larger orders.
