How to verify a leather goods exporter in India before you pay

1. Check the exporter's IEC (Importer-Exporter Code) on the DGFT website. Every legal Indian exporter has one.
2. Check the GSTIN on the Indian GST portal: the company name and address must match the invoice and the bank account.
3. Ask for proof of past exports of leather goods: shipping bills or bills of lading. On EximHub, "Shipment-proven" suppliers have this on record.
4. Get a sample and agree the specification in writing: grade, tolerances, packaging and labelling (see the guide above).
5. Inspect the goods before you pay the balance: EximHub staff in India do this free for buyers, or book an independent agency such as SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek; for food and agri products, ask for a lab report against your country's limits.
6. Use safer payment terms: a Letter of Credit at sight, or 30% advance and 70% against a copy of the bill of lading after inspection. Never pay 100% advance to a new supplier. Never pay into a bank account held in a different company's name.

Questions buyers ask

Vegetable or chrome tanned?

Vegetable-tanned leather ages naturally and suits premium goods; chrome-tanned is softer and more uniform.
