Furniture exporter to South Africa — solid wood, metal and décor from Jodhpur.
We manufacture and export solid-wood furniture, wood-and-metal pieces, marble and handcrafted décor to South African importers, retailers and hospitality groups — CITES-documented, ISPM-15 packed, and consolidated into one container shipped to Durban or Cape Town.
The handcrafted solid-wood range South African buyers ask for.
South African retailers, decorators and hospitality groups buy heavily into natural, warm-toned solid-wood and industrial wood-and-iron pieces — the look that reads as premium on a showroom floor and travels well as a China-alternative source. We build it in genuine Jodhpur sheesham, mango, acacia and reclaimed wood, and round out the container with the metalware, marble and décor that lift your margin.

Hospitality & contract furnitureCITES and ISPM-15 — handled before your container sails.
Two things decide whether a timber-furniture container clears cleanly into South Africa: the legality of the wood and the treatment of the packaging. Sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo) is CITES-listed, so we ship it with CITES-compliant documentation, and every wooden crate, pallet and brace is ISPM-15 heat-treated and marked. FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality verification sit behind both.
Many South African importers also re-export or sell on to European, UK and US clients. Because we are already EUDR-ready, Lacey Act-ready and UKTR-aligned, the same documented, deforestation-free supply chain protects those onward sales too.

Flat-pack and knockdown construction is worth flagging early for South Africa: it cuts freight and breakage on the long sea route and lets you fit more sellable units into every container. We do not operate an overseas warehouse, so every order ships direct from India on your schedule.
Craft you can sell. Paperwork South African customs trusts.
One compliant source
Furniture, metalware, marble and décor consolidated into a single CITES-documented, ISPM-15-packed container — not four suppliers and four sets of paperwork.
Trial to full containers
Our own factory plus a vetted Jodhpur manufacturing network scales you from a first LCL sample order to large, repeat FCL volumes, QC-governed throughout. Factory visits welcome on prior intimation.
A China alternative with craft
Genuine Jodhpur handcraft in solid wood — the diversify-from-China source South African importers are actively looking for, backed by sustainable and reclaimed-wood options.
Furniture import to South Africa, answered.
Do you export furniture to South Africa?
Yes. We are an export-only manufacturer-exporter in Jodhpur, India, supplying South African importers, wholesalers, retailers, interior designers and hospitality buyers. We consolidate solid-wood furniture, wood-and-metal pieces, marble and handcrafted décor into one compliant container and ship FOB or CIF to South African ports.
Which South African ports do you ship to?
We load at Mundra and Nhava Sheva in India and ship to Durban and Cape Town, the main entry points for furniture imports into South Africa. We quote FOB or CIF so you can use your own freight forwarder or ours, and flat-pack lines raise container density to lower your landed cost per unit.
Is sheesham and solid-wood furniture allowed into South Africa?
Yes, with the right paperwork. Sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo) is a CITES-listed timber, so we ship it with CITES-compliant documentation, and all wooden packaging is ISPM-15 heat-treated and marked. We also hold FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality verification, which keeps clearance a non-event.
What is the minimum order for South Africa?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container). For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we mix categories — furniture, metalware and décor — in a single container so you can test a broad range on one order.
Can you private-label or make to our own designs for South African retailers?
Yes. We are both ODM, supplying our own catalogue designs, and OEM, manufacturing to your drawings, finishes and private-label branding — including custom CNC carving and retail-ready or branded packaging for South African retail chains and online sellers.
How long does production and shipping take?
Production runs 30–45 days typically, with QC on every piece and full compliance documentation. Urgent orders can be expedited at a premium. Sea transit from India to Durban is then added on top, which your forwarder or ours will confirm per sailing.
