How to start a leather goods export business in India?

I’ve helped a friend export leather bags, and in 2025, India’s ₹10k crore leather market is export-ready—US, EU love Indian craftsmanship. Why It Works - Demand: Bags, wallets at ₹1,000-5,000/unit. - Cost: ₹5L for machines, leather. Steps 1. Source: Kolkata tanneries (₹200/kg). 2. Legal: IEC code (₹5k), MSME. 3. Sell: Alibaba, trade fairs. Export 500 units/month = ₹2L profit. Compliance is strict—check certifications. LEIL’s guide helps. Bags or belts first?
