When considering how far a leather wallet or bag would go, most individuals have pondered how far a leather wallet or bag would go. In Dombivli, leather goods, particularly bags, are complemented with craftsmanship skill, time, and family legacy. I have characterized my interactions with small-scale exporters, handcrafted leather goods workshop owners, and novice sellers. What happens if the leather becomes brittle? What happens if the clear coat is damaged while stuck in customs? What happens if the shipment disappears in the system and the customer never receives it? What if, really, what if? The leather goods are of high quality, and the craftsmanship and the ability to create leather goods are all top of the line.
When it comes to leather goods, international shipping has always been a balancing act. For several years, Atlantic International Express has been in partnership with Dombivli and Indian exporters. They understand the world is an international shipping of leather goods and canvas. It is more than just a package. It is more of an emotion and a set of beliefs that need to be exchanged.
This is an important document to explain the dependable international shipping process of leather goods from Dombivli. This is not an advertisement. This is an explanation of a process that has proven to answer a request from a friendly ‘what if’.
The insights shared here reflect our experience handling real-world shipping challenges rather than theoretical assumptions.
International shipping requires specific prep work that involves the shipping of leather pieces. Moisture and humidity must be kept under control. Leather is sensitive and can be easily damaged.
In Dombivli, many leather artisans make and sell small-scale products such as leather belts, shoes, bags, wallets, and other leather accessories. Products created by artisans in this region are frequently exported to and sold in various foreign markets, including Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Each of the aforementioned regions and countries has specific laws, regulations, and trade policies that govern the international shipping and export of leather goods.
Excessive dryness can lead to the cracking of the leather. On the other hand, humidity creates the potential to develop mold. Poor and insufficient packaging can lead to the loss of shapes leather products. Because items and packages are routinely shipped and transported using various international shipping modes, packages acquired by the customer can be handled and lost in the shipping processes. Leather products are particularly sensitive during shipment.
Leather can dry and crack during shipping. During shipping, leather products can be ruined by moisture. Poor packaging can lead to bags, shoes, and leather items being misshapen and distorted. The longer the shipment's transit takes, the more likely the leather items will be damaged during handling.
Packaging leather goods requires a thorough understanding of the laws, regulations, and trade policies. Leather goods export policies require additional regulations and specific export documentation to accompany the leather pieces being shipped.
When paperwork is incomplete or inaccurate, there is a risk that a shipment will be delayed or returned altogether. This is where the experience of a fragile handler becomes even more pertinent, as the customs process will be more documented. After all, they know what they’re doing.
Atlantic International Express follows global shipping standards and applicable changes to the shipping regulations. This is beneficial to exporters lacking customs experience.
Very few things are as frustrating as delays in shipping, and the situation is made even worse when there is red tape involved. This can lead to an erosion or even a complete loss of the trust that your customers have in your ability to deliver.
There are certain aspects of the customs process that can be time-consuming and expensive, and it is even possible that you are contributing to the problem. Well-placed shipping labels, invoices, and product descriptions can mitigate your contribution to the problem.
