  • ② Counter-sample, lab dip, PPS — the three sample stages in order
  • ③ Production lead times: what's normal vs what's fast
  • ④ Ocean transit windows from Indian ports, by destination
  • ⑤ Total order-to-DC timelines (first-run and repeat)
  • ⑥ MOQs: how flexible Indian manufacturers really are
  • ⑦ FOB vs CIF vs DAP vs DDP — choosing your incoterm
  • ⑧ Payment terms: what's standard, what's risky
