Leather and footwear
Raw or semi-finished hides and skins typically fall in chapter 41, articles of leather in chapter 42, and footwear in chapter 64.
Packing
Footwear and bags are usually packed in cartons with pair or piece counts. Leather can be sensitive to moisture and heat; keep packing dry and protective.
Documents and certifications
A typical set includes the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, and a certificate of origin. If a preference scheme applies you may need origin evidence such as REX or the form the destination specifies.
Some destinations apply extra rules to leather and chemicals. If you need material lists or test reports, write them into the contract.
Shipping modes
