Office Furniture Export from India
We build ergonomic chairs and office furniture at our own plant near Delhi and ship them knocked-down, sea-packed and documented — so what leaves our floor is what lands at your port. No trading house inside your margin.

If you've imported from India before
Looking for an office furniture supplier in India, but not sure who actually makes the chairs?
Importers who call us have usually been through at least two of these. None of them show up on the quotation.
- You can't tell a factory from a trading house. The quote comes from someone who will place your order elsewhere, add a layer, and disappear when there's a problem on the line.
- The sample was perfect. The container wasn't. Different mesh, different shade of black, different armrest — and your customer spots it before you do.
- Chairs arrive scuffed and crushed, packed for a truck ride across town, not for thirty days at sea and four handling points.
- You're paying freight on air. Chairs loaded half-assembled, cartons that don't stack, and a container that closes at 70% of the cube you paid for.
- Documents arrive late or wrong. The packing list doesn't match the marks on the cartons, and your clearing agent is calling you from the port.
- The vessel cut-off is Friday and production has been "almost finished" since Monday. Nobody tells you until it is too late to rebook.
- One gas lift fails in month four and nobody will ship you twenty of them. You end up replacing whole chairs to save the account.
What it costs you, not them
The cheapest FOB price is rarely the cheapest container
An importer doesn't lose money on the unit price. You lose it between the factory gate and your warehouse floor. Here is one 40 ft HQ of office chairs, and where the money actually leaks.
| Where it leaks | What happens on your side | On one 40 ft HQ* |
|---|---|---|
| Buying through a trading layer | You think you are buying factory-direct. There is an exporter in between, and his margin sits inside your landed cost. | $1,800 |
| Shipping air | Poor knock-down packing and cartons that waste the cube. You pay ocean freight for empty space. | $2,200 |
| Sea damage | Single-wall cartons, no edge protection, chrome bases unwrapped. A slice of every container lands unsellable. | $1,200 |
| Batch mismatch | The second shipment doesn't match the first, so you discount it or argue for a month. | $1,500 |
| Missed vessel | Production slips, the booking rolls, and detention and demurrage land on you — along with a late delivery to your own customer. | $900 |
| No spares available | Hardest one to price. You pay it in replaced chairs and a customer who stops calling. | The account |
| What a badly chosen supplier costs on one container | ≈ $7,600 | |

*Our estimates, from what importers tell us when they move their sourcing to us. Put your own last shipment in — the damage and cube lines usually surprise people.
How we work with importers
One factory, one specification, one set of papers
Every leak above comes from the same thing: distance between you and whoever actually welded, moulded and stitched the chair. We're the ones who did.
Manufacturer's price, because we are the manufacturer
Frames, mesh, foam, upholstery, assembly and finishing all happen at our own unit in Bawana, North West Delhi. There is no exporter between us and you, so there is no exporter's margin inside your landed cost.
- Udyam-registered manufacturing enterprise, not a trading firm
- Making office seating since 2017, 100+ people on the floor
- Live video walkthrough of the line before you commit, or visit us in Delhi
- You deal with the people who control the production schedule
Packed for the sea, and for the cube
Two different problems, and most suppliers solve neither. Chairs go knocked-down in cartons sized to stack, so the container closes full and opens undamaged.
- Knocked-down packing — backrest, seat, base, castors and gas lift in one carton
- Five-ply export cartons, corner protection, chrome and armrests bagged
- Carton marks printed with model, quantity, CBM and your order number
- Loading plan before production: CBM per model and chairs per 20 ft and 40 ft HQ
- Photographs and a loading video before the doors are sealed
Papers your clearing agent won't call you about
Export paperwork is where small factories quietly fail their buyers. Ours goes out as a set, checked against the cartons actually in the container.
- Proforma invoice, commercial invoice and packing list that match the marks
- Certificate of origin, and fumigation certificate where the destination needs it
- Draft bill of lading sent to you for approval before it is issued
- Ex-works, FOB from the west or north Indian port you prefer, or CIF to your port
- Your own nominated forwarder is welcome — we'll work with their booking
The one importers always ask about
We don't sell around you in your own market
If you build the market, the account is yours.
When you register a customer or a project with us, we don't quote that buyer behind you, and we don't pass their details to somebody else in your country.
If another buyer from your market is already on our books, we'll tell you on the first call rather than let you find out later. Country exclusivity on a model range is open for discussion once there's steady volume — ask, and what we agree goes into the proforma invoice.
We sell at retail on our own Indian website, which you can check any day. What we won't do is undercut an importer who is building a market for us.
For most importers this is the whole decision. Raise it on the first call.

Tell us what you sell and where you sell it
You don't need model numbers. Your country, roughly what you stock and how much you move is enough for us to send real FOB prices and a loading plan.
- You send the form. A minute, no more.
- We reply within one working day. WhatsApp or email — we'll ask what you import now and what goes wrong with it.
- You get the export price list. Models, specifications, carton sizes, CBM, chairs per container, FOB and CIF. In writing.
- Samples, then the first container. Most importers approve a sample by courier first. We'd encourage it.
Buying for your own offices abroad rather than to resell? Same form — just pick a project or fit-out, and we'll quote it as a single bulk shipment instead of trade pricing.
Prefer to talk? WhatsApp +91 87005 40830 or email contact@oakcraft.in. We reply in Indian business hours, IST.
No surprises

| Lead time | Roughly 18–25 days for a full container after sample approval and advance, depending on models and quantity |

Terms above are our standard. Anything we agree differently with you goes into the proforma invoice, not into an email nobody can find later.
Straight talk
We're not the right supplier for every importer
Better you know now than after three rounds of emails and a sample courier.
Probably not us if…
You need the chairs under your own brand. We supply as Oakcraft only — no private label, no third-party branding. If that is a requirement, we are the wrong factory for you.
Probably not us if…
You are chasing the lowest number in the market. There is always a cheaper chair, and usually a reason inside it — thinner gauge, uncertified gas lift, foam that flattens in a year.
Good fit if…
You're an importer or distributor who needs the same model again next season, with matching batches and spares, so your customers can add chairs instead of replacing the lot.
Good fit if…
You supply offices or fit-out projects abroad and need a factory that holds a production slot, gives you a real loading plan and tells you early when something slips.

Before you ask us
Questions importers ask
Are you actually a manufacturer, or an exporter buying from factories?
Manufacturer. We build at our own unit in Poothkhurd, Bawana, North West Delhi, registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-DL-06-0171040). We are the OEM. Come and see it, or ask for a live video walkthrough — most serious buyers do one or the other.
What is your minimum export order?
One 20 ft container, and you can mix models inside it. If you want to test the market first, tell us — we'll look at a smaller LCL lot for a first shipment rather than push you into a full container.
Do you quote FOB or CIF?
Both, and ex-works if you'd rather control everything yourself. Tell us your destination port and we'll quote it the way you buy. If you have your own forwarder in India, we'll work to their booking.
How many chairs fit in a container?
It depends on the model, which is why we send a loading plan rather than a number. Knocked-down packing decides it — the same chair costs far more in freight if it ships assembled. Your price list carries carton size and CBM for every model, so you can work it out yourself.
Which documents do you provide?
Proforma invoice, commercial invoice, packing list matched to the carton marks, certificate of origin and a draft bill of lading for your approval before it is issued. Fumigation certificate where your country requires it. Ask for our IEC and registration documents with the first PI.
What are your payment terms?
40% advance with the proforma invoice and the balance against the scanned bill of lading. Once there's a track record between us, an irrevocable LC at sight can be discussed.
Can I get samples before the first container?
Yes. Sample chairs go by courier and the cost is adjusted in your first order. Sit on it, show it to your customer — it's the cheapest due diligence available to you.
Who handles warranty and spares once the container lands?
Three years against manufacturing defects. Shipping whole chairs back across an ocean helps nobody, so we settle in spares — gas lifts, castors, mechanisms, armrests — packed into your container as an agreed free percentage and topped up with the next one.
Will the second container match the first?
Yes, on running models — same shade, same mesh, same components. That consistency is the main reason importers move from a trading house to a factory. If a model is being phased out, we tell you before you build a catalogue around it.
Can I put my own brand on the chairs?
No. We supply under the Oakcraft brand only — no private label and no third-party branding. Better you know that now than after three rounds of emails.
