How to evaluate a footwear and leather supplier
What to compare in the evidence before you shortlist.
- Product descriptions and HS codes against what you need to buy — they describe what moved, not the company’s full range.
- Recency: the latest shipment date, and whether shipments recur or were a one-off.
- Buyer relationships: how many US buyers, and whether any repeat.
- Origin and loading ports, for lead time and routing.
- Shipment consistency across the analysed window.
Methodology and limitations
Counts are suppliers named as shipper on US ocean import records, after forwarders and consolidators are removed; shipments are bills of lading in the analysed window; the industry is classified from each supplier’s own descriptions. Air, road and rail freight are not included. Full definitions, update cadence and limitations: methodology.
