## What GreenFlip India does
GreenFlip India is the handicraft import–export procurement desk for India. Two sides:
1. EXPORT (sell India): connect Indian handicraft makers and export houses with verified global buyers, with India-specific export guidance (IEC, DGFT, EPCH/RCMC, GST LUT, shipping bill, RoDTEP, duty drawback).
2. IMPORT (buy for India): help Indian importers source handicrafts and decor from 11 other origins, with import guidance (ICEGATE bill of entry, BCD/IGST customs duty, BIS/CRS compliance).
We list verified suppliers, compare MOQ/pricing/lead time, route bulk quotes (RFQ), publish PDF catalogs, and provide 18 years of India trade guides and a glossary.
