A buyer's guide to sourcing sheesham wood furniture from India
Practical detail for importers — what to check on quality, how the product varies, and the compliance and documentation that applies in export markets.
What to inspect before shipment
Saharanpur and Jodhpur are the sheesham (Indian rosewood) furniture hubs. Inspect timber moisture content (kiln-dried is essential to prevent cracking and warping in dry export climates), joinery quality, finish evenness, and hardware. Check for splits, sapwood and knots, and confirm solid-wood versus veneer/engineered components.
Variants and customization
Output spans tables, storage, seating and industrial/live-edge furniture in natural, distressed and painted finishes, often with metal accents. Customization covers design, size, finish, hardware and knock-down (flat-pack) construction for freight efficiency. Specify moisture-content limits and finish system, as these drive both durability and claims.
Compliance and export documentation
Important: sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo) is listed under CITES Appendix II, so exports require a CITES export permit and buyers need matching documentation — confirm your supplier can provide it. Solid-wood furniture also needs ISPM-15-compliant treatment/fumigation. Classified under HS 9403.
