wood & furniture exporter from India-where should we focus first?
Helo,
We recently started our export business from India and would love some practical advice from people ding it already.
little bit about us: we are both manufacturers and traders in wood and furniture. We work with teak, sal, sheesham, mango, acacia, etc., or whatever your demand is and also do custom furniture. we handle the full process which means: sourcing raw wood (local + imported), processing it at our sawmill (about 20 km outside the city), and manufacturing in our workshop in the city. This gives us good control over quality and consistency.
We’ve just got our export license and are now trying to expand internationally. but for the start we prefer working as suppliers.
ould really appreciate insights on:
- Which countries/markets are currently good for Indian wood or furniture exports?
- What kind of products are actually moving like raw wood or timber finished vs finished furniture vs semi-finished?
- Any specific compliance/certification that buyers are insisting on right now?
We’re also planning to move our workshop outside the city and set up an in-house kiln this year.
Happy to connect and thanks!
