What "Verified Exporter" Actually Means

A lot of supplier directories use the word "verified" loosely. On Navi Exports, it means the exporter has submitted and cleared a check on:

  • GSTIN - confirms the business is registered and tax-compliant in India
  • IEC Code - issued by India's DGFT; required for all legal export activity
  • Business registration documents - sole proprietorship, LLP, or private limited company

Suppliers who pass this process get a Verified Exporter badge on their profile. You can filter the directory to show only verified exporters when browsing.

Buyer tip: Always ask a supplier for their IEC number before placing an order. A legitimate Indian exporter will share it without hesitation. You can cross-check it on the DGFT portal at dgft.gov.in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from international buyers sourcing from India via Navi Exports.

Is it free for buyers to use Navi Exports?

Yes. Browsing the directory, viewing supplier profiles, and sending inquiries are all free. You only pay the supplier directly when you place an order - Navi Exports does not charge buyers a commission or platform fee.

How do I know if a supplier is legitimate?

Look for the Verified Exporter badge. Verified suppliers have had their GSTIN, IEC code, and business registration checked. You can also ask any supplier directly for their IEC number and verify it yourself on the DGFT government portal at dgft.gov.in.

What is the typical minimum order quantity (MOQ) from Indian suppliers?

MOQ varies by category and supplier. Artisan and handicraft suppliers often work with small orders of 50–100 pieces. Industrial and agricultural suppliers typically start at higher volumes. Each supplier profile lists their MOQ, and you can negotiate directly for sample orders.

How does shipping and logistics work?

Indian exporters typically ship via sea freight (FCL or LCL) for bulk orders, and air freight for smaller, high-value shipments. Most experienced exporters handle export-side documentation (shipping bill, packing list, certificate of origin). Import clearance in your country is your responsibility - we recommend working with a local customs broker for your first order.

What payment methods do Indian exporters accept?

Wire transfer (SWIFT/TT) is the most common. Many exporters also accept Letters of Credit (LC) for larger orders. For first-time orders, some suppliers request a 30–50% advance payment before production. Payment terms are negotiated directly between buyer and supplier - Navi Exports does not process payments.

Can I request product samples before placing a full order?

Yes, and you should. Most suppliers will send samples - usually at the buyer's cost for international shipping. Some waive the sample cost if you're placing a significant trial order. Agree on sample specifications in writing before requesting.

Which Indian cities are the main export hubs by product type?

Jaipur and Jodhpur for gems, jewellery, handicrafts, and textiles. Surat for diamonds and synthetic fabrics. Mumbai and Chennai for chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and machinery. Ludhiana for hosiery and bicycle parts. Bengaluru for engineering goods and electronics. Kochi for spices. Coimbatore for pumps and motors.
