Apparel Manufacturer in India for Germany

Vihaan International is an Indian apparel and uniform manufacturer serving German importers, workwear labels, hotel groups and private-label brands. Based in Gurgaon, we combine India's cost structure with the paperwork discipline and quality documentation that DACH-region buyers expect: composition declarations, HS-coded invoices, EU-aware labelling, and pre-shipment third-party testing where required.

Our production window is 25-35 days for a typical corporate or workwear order after fabric approval, followed by air freight to Frankfurt / Munich / Berlin in 6-8 business days or sea freight to Hamburg / Bremerhaven in 22-28 days. FOB Nhava Sheva is our default Incoterm; CIF and DDP are available on request.

In short

An Indian clothing manufacturer serving German buyers of workwear, corporate uniforms, hotel uniforms and private-label fashion. Low MOQ starts at 200 pieces (fashion) / 500 pieces (corporate). Full EU-import documentation, OEKO-TEX-capable fabric sourcing and third-party pre-shipment testing on request. 25-35 day production plus 6-8 day air freight to Frankfurt.

What German Buyers Care About — and How We Handle It

Documentation over promises

Every shipment ships with a full document pack — commercial invoice with HS codes, packing list, certificate of origin, and a fabric composition declaration aligned to EU Textile Labelling Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011.

Chemical compliance

REACH SVHC declarations available. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabric can be sourced from partner mills when specified in the PO. Third-party testing via SGS / Intertek arranged in India before shipment if required.

Predictable lead times

We give a realistic production schedule at PO stage — no over-promising. 25-35 days production is the honest window for corporate uniforms and workwear; anything faster is discussed case-by-case.

Right Incoterm for each order

FOB Nhava Sheva by default. CIF Hamburg or DDP door-delivery available when it makes commercial sense. We do not push DDP on large orders where it inflates landed cost.

Communication in English, structured in writing

All commercials, tech packs, and QC reports are shared as PDFs or spreadsheets — not as chat messages. English is our working language; German-language care labels are added at production if specified.

Time-zone that works with CET

IST is CET + 4.5 hours. Emails and WhatsApp received by 12:00 CET are typically answered same day; production updates land in your inbox before Frankfurt opens.

Exporting Clothing from India to Germany — FAQs

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin (Form A / GSP where applicable), bill of lading or airway bill, EUR.1 movement certificate when the shipment qualifies, and fabric composition declaration to support the EU Textile Labelling Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. Every shipment is prepared for import into the EU customs union with proper HS codes on the invoice.

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is available case-by-case, mainly for smaller air-freight consignments where predictable landed cost matters more than the lowest freight rate. For larger sea-freight orders, FOB Nhava Sheva or CIF Hamburg / Bremerhaven usually gives the buyer better economics and control. We recommend the correct Incoterm during the quotation, not after.

Standard lead time is 25-35 days from PO + fabric confirmation to ex-factory readiness, plus transit. Air freight to Frankfurt / Munich / Berlin is 6-8 business days. Sea freight to Hamburg or Bremerhaven is typically 22-28 days port-to-port. Total: 4-9 weeks depending on freight mode.

We source fabric from mills that offer OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified options and can provide REACH SVHC declarations on request. For orders where the German buyer needs specific test reports (formaldehyde, azo dyes, phthalates), we arrange third-party testing via SGS / Intertek in India before shipment. Testing cost is billed to the buyer and quoted upfront.

Care symbols follow ISO 3758. Fibre composition is declared per EU Textile Labelling Regulation. Country of origin is stated as "Made in India". Care instructions can be printed in German, English, or multi-language on request; we need the exact German text upfront so the label supplier can lock it into the artwork.

New buyers: 30-50% advance by wire transfer (TT) against PI, balance against copy of BL / AWB. Established repeat clients: Letter of Credit at sight, or structured TT terms. Payments accepted in EUR or USD. We do not use platforms with escrow markups; direct bank-to-bank is standard for genuine B2B relationships.

Yes. Poly-cotton twills, reinforced stitching, reflective-tape options and colour-fast dyes suitable for industrial laundry cycles are all within our regular range. Send the exact spec sheet or a reference garment and we prepare a matching pre-production sample before bulk commitment.

We serve hospitality clients including hotel and F&B groups, with orders configured for pressed uniforms, aprons, chef wear, housekeeping, and front-of-house shirts. Referenceable case studies are shared on request during commercial discussion, not publicly, out of respect for our clients confidentiality.
