Buyer FAQs
Short answers for search snippets and procurement teams comparing suppliers.
Why is DMF-free critical for EU-bound leather?
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is a chemical historically used in some silica gel sachets as an antifungal. It caused consumer skin allergic reactions from leather goods packaging, which led to the EU banning DMF in leather products in 2009. Non-DMF-free silica gel inside an EU-bound leather shipment will be rejected.
How many silica gel sachets per shoe?
Typical: 1 sachet per shoe (0.5g-1g), placed inside the shoe at packaging. For premium leather goods, add a 5g-10g secondary sachet in the unit box. Master carton gets an additional 25g-50g sachet for carton-air control.
What about long-haul Karachi-to-EU leather shipments?
Tropical-to-temperate routes (Karachi-Hamburg ~25 days, Karachi-Rotterdam similar) are the worst case for leather moisture damage. Use full tiered program: shoe-level + carton-level + container ceiling strips. DMF-free silica gel throughout.
