Importing FOOTWEAR
At present, importing footwear into Australia can be a complicated process due to Australia’s stringent labelling requirements.
In order to ensure that all imported shoes meet these requirements, many importing companies work closely with compliance experts who have extensive knowledge of Australian labelling Regulations. By partnering with these experts, importing companies are able to streamline the importing process and avoid any delays or issues related to regulatory compliance.
Additionally, importing footwear companies typically engage in rigorous quality assurance programs that carefully evaluate every aspect of their products, from sourcing the materials, designing the footwear, producing the footwear, logistics from overseas to Australia and finally the point of sale.
Overall, importing footwear requires meticulous attention to detail at every stage of the process in order to ensure both regulatory compliance and high-quality products resonate with the end consumer.

Boots
When it comes to importing footwear, nothing is more important than boots. Whether you wish to import rugged outdoor boots for hiking or protective work boots for the workplace, importing boots from overseas can ensure that you have the perfect pair for your end customer.
In addition to needing to be of high-quality and durable, importing boots also has the advantage of being more cost-effective when you import in bulk.
Sandals
Sandals are an important part of any summer wardrobe, offering a lightweight and comfortable option for walking and exploring outdoors. However, importing sandals can be a challenge, as certain factors must be considered in order to ensure that they arrive in Australia at the right time.
Importing footwear for summer usually requires the footwear to arrive into Australia a few months before the season commences. There is nothing worse than having all of the advertising and publicity undertaken and then having issues with the shoes arriving late.
You would need to work closely with your manufacturers to make sure that all of the labelling requirements are correct and that your transportation company will have your footwear arrive in good time. Having your customs broker involved in the process early, will allow foreseen issues to be eliminated.
