A practical guide for new importers, trial-order buyers, and Etsy/dropship sellers who keep hitting high MOQ walls with Indian factories. Covers negotiation tactics, categories (handicrafts, textiles) where low MOQs are easier to secure, and how a sourcing partner like Netyex pools leverage and vets suppliers willing to accommodate smaller first orders. Includes real sample-to-bulk timelines and payment structures that make small trial orders low-risk.
