How to source brass parts from Jamnagar

BrassRoute guide · updated 8 October 2026

Send one complete drawing, compare at least three quotes on the same basis, approve a sample, then order. That sequence avoids most problems.

1. Prepare the requirement

• A drawing with dimensions, tolerances and thread standard (metric, BSP, NPT, PG).
• The brass grade (see brass grades explained) and the finish or plating.
• Quantity per order and per year, packing, and the delivery terms you want (EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP).

2. Find suppliers who make that product

Jamnagar has specialists by product. Start from the product pages below or the supplier directory, or post the requirement once and BrassRoute passes it to units that list that product.

3. Compare quotes on the same basis

Check that each quote states the price unit (per piece, per kg, per 1,000), the minimum order, tooling cost, lead time, plating, packing and payment terms. A low price per piece can hide a high tooling charge or a bigger minimum.

4. Approve a sample

Ask for samples from the production process, not hand-made pieces. Measure them against the drawing and check the material.

5. Inspection, payment and shipping

• For export orders, many buyers use a third-party inspection before dispatch.
• Common terms are an advance with the balance against documents or before dispatch. Start with a small first order.
• Export cargo from Jamnagar usually leaves through Mundra, Kandla or Pipavav ports in Gujarat.

6. Check the supplier

Ask for the GST number and check it on the government portal. On BrassRoute, profiles show whether the business has claimed its page and whether its GST has been checked.

Questions buyers ask

What is the usual minimum order for brass parts in Jamnagar?

It depends on the part and the process. Simple turned parts often start at a few thousand pieces, and forged or plated parts can need more. Ask each supplier for its minimum with the quote.

How long does production take?

For repeat parts with tooling ready, two to four weeks is common. New parts that need tooling or samples take longer. Each quote on BrassRoute states the lead time in days.
