Real lanes, transit windows, and all-in costs — not brochure estimates.
Niche but works. South Asian diaspora buyers. Position with detailed size guides and "ready-stitched" or "unstitched fabric" clarification. Avoid wedding-wear (too niche).
Restricted category. Amazon requires GIA/IGI certified diamonds for marketplace listings. Most Surat sellers work through B2B channels (RapNet), not Amazon DTC.
Hazira if Surat-based and shipping LCL. Mundra for FCL or if your forwarder has better USA rates from Mundra. Both are world-class ports.
Dupattas (versatile scarves) - $25-55 price point, lightweight freight. Stoles and wraps. Premium synthetic prints for fashion-forward US buyers.
