How an order reaches Rotterdam
Goods for Rotterdam 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 Rotterdam, which is Rotterdam itself, so clearance and delivery happen locally. 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 Rotterdam 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.
