The South African market demands premium quality and ethical sourcing. Master the logistics of importing Indian hair to South Africa.
The South African Salon Standard
Johannesburg and Cape Town have a well-developed professional salon sector with strong demand for tape-ins, nano rings and high-grade wefts. Remy or virgin hair gives a natural blend and long reuse (3–5 years with proper care), and traceable sourcing is a selling point for South African clients; letter grades such as 12A–13A are vendor labels, not a standard.
SARS and VAT
Imports into South Africa are assessed by SARS and carry 15% VAT. We provide clear commercial invoices so a VAT-registered business can claim the VAT back. DHL Express or FedEx deliver to Johannesburg and Cape Town in 7–10 business days. Payment is 100% in advance by international bank transfer, card (Razorpay link), PayPal or Western Union / MoneyGram.
Direct From India Office
As a direct manufacturer and exporter, Suvita Hair Global supplies raw, virgin and Remy temple-sourced human hair to salons, wholesalers, and private labels worldwide.

Can I buy hair extensions, wigs and bundles for personal use, not wholesale?
Yes. Suvita Hair is a manufacturer and exporter based in India and we accept personal-use orders from 1 piece. Personal-use buyers are quoted retail-use pricing with colour matching support and door-to-door express delivery worldwide. Select "Personal Use" when you enquire so we send the correct price list.
What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale hair extensions, wigs and bundles?
Wholesale pricing starts from 20 pieces, with deeper volume slabs at 50 and 100+ pieces. Distributors ordering 100+ pieces or committing to monthly shipments receive our best per-piece manufacturer rate. Order a sample first to verify quality before confirming a bulk order.
Do you offer salon pricing for stylists?
Yes. Salons, extension studios and freelance stylists buying roughly 5–20 pieces per order receive a dedicated salon slab with mixed length and texture packs, batch-to-batch colour consistency and priority reorders.
Do you supply distributors and private-label brands?
We supply importers and distributors with territory pricing, reserved monthly production slots and complete export documentation (invoice, packing list, HS code, certificate of origin). For private-label brands we manufacture under your label with custom packaging, branded tags and hang cards from 50 pieces per SKU.
