For Indian timber importers, choosing the right destination routing can reduce inland logistics pressure, improve receiving speed, and lower avoidable costs. A strong sourcing decision is not only about wood quality; it is also about practical port planning.

India Destinations Covered by Apex International

Apex International lists the following India routing points:

• Mundra (Gujarat)
• Nava Sheva – Concor ICD Mulund (Mumbai, Maharashtra)
• Tuticorin (Tamil Nadu)
• New Mangalore Port (Karnataka)

These routes give buyers flexibility across west and south India supply planning.

How to Choose the Right Route

Use these filters before confirming destination:

• Distance to your warehouse or factory
• Inland freight and handling cost
• Unloading and storage readiness
• Delivery commitment timeline to your customers

Port selection should support your total landed workflow, not only vessel arrival.

Practical Planning Sequence

1. Lock wood specification and quantity.
2. Confirm destination route based on inland economics.
3. Align unloading resources before arrival.
4. Match receiving checklist with purchase specification.

This sequence helps reduce avoidable delays and supports repeat order confidence.

Common Mistakes in Routing Decisions

• Selecting a route before checking inland transport realities
• Ignoring receiving infrastructure at destination
• Changing destination too late in shipment cycle
• Not aligning procurement and logistics teams early

Final Takeaway

For importers of Tanzanian teak and pine, route planning should be handled at the same time as product planning. Correct destination strategy improves delivery reliability and protects margins in recurring timber procurement.
