If you want a dhow, go in the evening at the port in the old city. You will have to choose one of the bigger one, as they are there for the long trips. You should be able to find one easily. These dhows go as far as somalia and take light trucks.
For the import, I assume you have a carnet. I read somewhere that only few ports (the biggest) in India have the knowledge necessary to deal with it. Mumbai does, but not sure if dhows go there.
I assume the trip would take a week or so, which can be a long time on one of these boats...
