How an order reaches Harare

Goods for Harare 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 Beira, and your clearing agent moves it on to Harare. 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 Harare 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 Harare source garments from India

Value-priced T-shirts, jeans, school uniforms, kidswear and hoodies sell strongly. 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 Harare who test a range before they commit to larger orders.
