economical factor else no industrialist would accept the


change. Special emphasis has been laid on use of low waste
technology with minimum possible expenditure and maximum
quality production because it is natural for any industrialists to
resist a change unless it is likely to give better quality
production with least expenditure. Pollution is given the last
priority by them where as we give it the first priority.
A Superhouse Ltd. We are very much cautious about pollution.
We have our own water treatment and chrome recovery plant
in which we collect the drain water full of nickel, chromium and
many other harmful substances our deep interest is in green
and clean environment.
The chrome is used in the processing of skins in which 65%is
consumed during the process while 35% goes waste. The
presence of chrome in the discharge water of tanneries is
hazardous for public health as its excessive use can cause
severe skin diseases to minimizing the danger; we have water
treatment plant to purify water to its maximum possible level.
We believe to contribute in sage and healthy environment.
Superhouse Ltd. Company is an eco-friendly company.

THE CHAIRMAN MASSAGE


I congratulate all of you as your company surpasses the
recessionary trend wrapping the globe during 2009-10.
Your company was able to register the positive export
growth as against the negative growth of Indian Leather
Industry during 2009-10. The profit aftertax of the
company increased from Rs. 757.22 lacs during 2008-09 to
Rs. 1364.88 lacs during 2009-10, thereby registering an
impressive growth of 80.25%. During the current year, your
company received Best Export Awards of U.RState for the
years 2007-08 and 2008-09. Your company also received
four National Export Awards during 2009-10. The company
was placed first for exporting Non-leather Saddlery and
Harness. This became possible due to the faith bestowed
upon the present team of Management by you.
During the current year, the Macro-Economic trends are
showing global recovery with modest pace. In the US,
recovery remains constrained by high unemployment,
modest income growth, lower housing wealth and tight
credit. In the Euro area, economic activity is weak, though
more resilient than expected in the face of the recent
turbulence. The growth outlook remains clouded by
concerns about the sustainability of sovereign debt in some
of the Euro area economies.
However, the Emerging Market Economies are witnessing
strong growth, driven by strong domestic demand,
restocking of inventories and, thus far, recovering global
trade. In many EMEs, especially in Asia, growth is fast
22

STRATEGIES FOR ENTERING IN EUROPEAN MARKE|


LOK NATH SHUKLA

approaching the trend. Robust macroeconomic


fundamentals, unimpaired balance sheets of corporates
and households, sound banking sector and effective fiscal
and monetary stimuli contributed to a significantly faster
recovery in EMEs.
The Indian Leather Industry has shown a very impressive
growth during two months ending May, 2010. During the
period the Export of the country reached USD 535 Million
as against USD 414.01 Million during last year for the same
period, thereby registering impressive growth of 29.22%.
Having regard to global recovery, the prospects of the
company are also looking bright during current year. The
recovery has consolidated and is becoming increasingly
broad based causing concerns about capacity constraints
and inflationary pressure. Keeping pace with the increasing
demand of the products of the company, the company is
planning to increase the production capacity coupled with
maximum utilization of present capacity.
However, as your company mainly is engaged in the export
of its products, the operations and profitability of the
company will also depend upon the overall global recovery.
Although Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) are
witnessing strong growth, there are visible soft spots in
Europe and the US, from where we are getting maximum
orders. The decreasing trend in value of Euro is also a
concern for the company. But I hope that your present
team of management will be able to handle such type of
critical circumstances.
I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all our
stakeholders, Board of Directors and Employees, who have

reposed their trust in us and give their constant support to


us.

1. Clicking or Cutting ProcessIn this department, the top part of the shoe or the "upper"
is cut. The clicking operative is given skins of leather,
mostly buffalo leather but not restricted to this type of
leather. Using metal strip knives, the worker cuts out
pieces of various shapes that will take the form of "uppers".
This operation needs a high level of skill as the expensive
leather has to be wasted at the minimum level possible.
Leather may also have various defects on the surface such
as barbed wire scratches which needs to be avoided, so
that they are not used for the uppers.The patterns for the
vamp, straps and quarter (which make up the upper) of the
sandal were cut out on paper and the cut outs served as a
guide to cut out the patterns from the materials to be used
for the upper.
This process is very essential process as 60% of the
production depends on it.

completed upper. The work is divided in stages. In


early stages, the pieces are sewn together on the flat
machine. In the later stages, when the upper is no
longer flat and has become three-dimensional, the
machine called post machine is used. The sewing
surface of the machine is elevated on a post to enable
the operative to sew the three dimensional upper.
Various edge treatments are also done onto the
leather for giving an attractive look to the finished
upper. At this stage only, the eyelets are also inserted
in order to accommodate the laces in the finished
shoes.The closing process also involves attaching all
the cut patterns of the upper with glue and stitching
them, when the glue got dry. The upper was also lined
with synthetic leather to enhance comfort and
durability.

4. Lasting Process33

STRATEGIES FOR ENTERING IN EUROPEAN MARKE|


LOK NATH SHUKLA

This process involved correctly positioning the attached


and stitched uppers on the last and then attaching the
upper to the insole. To attach the insole to the upper, the
inner part of the insole had to be made blunt to make for
easy application of glue using the bench grinder
After make the inner surface blunt, the insole was attached
to the upper through the use of the evostick glue. The last
remains in between the insole and the upper during the
process.
The completed uppers are molded into a shape of foot
with the help of a "Last". Last is a plastic shape that
simulates the foot shape. It is later removed from the
finished shoe to be used further in making other shoes.
Firstly, an insole to the bottom of the last is attached. It is
only a temporary attachment. Sometimes, mostly when
welted shoes are manufactured, the insole has a rib
attached to its under edge. The upper is stretched and
molded over the last and attached to the insole rib. After
the procedure completes, a "lasted shoe" is obtained. Now,
the welt- a strip of leather or plastic- is sewn onto the shoe
through the rib. The upper and all the surplus material is
trimmed off the seam. The sole is then attached to the welt
and both are stitched together. The heel is then attached
which completes the making of the shoe.
That was the process for heeled shoes. When a flat shoe is
in the making, there are considerably fewer operations.
The insoles in this case are flat and when the uppers are
'lasted', they are glued down to the surface of the inner
side of the insole. The part of the upper that is glued down
34

STRATEGIES FOR ENTERING IN EUROPEAN MARKE|


LOK NATH SHUKLA

is then roughed with a wire brush to take off the smooth


finish of the leather. This is done because rough surface
absorbs glue to give a stronger bond. The soles are usually
cut, finished and prepared as a separate component so
that when they are glued to the lasted upper, the result is a
complete and finished shoe. Soles can also be pre-molded
as a separate component out of various synthetic materials
and again glued to the lasted upper to complete the shoe.

5. Injection Process:
The direct-molded process allows manufacturers to
produce a fully assembled shoe in one step. The
inherent adhesive property of polyurethane is used in
combination with a shoe upper in a closed mould. This
process is typically used for reaction injection PU but
can equally be used for TPU. Using the direct injection
process, the shoe maker can adjust the color, density
and hardnessof the sole and produce multi-layer soles
(three colors and densities) in one step, on a single
machine. In this method the direct injection of sole on
the upper portion of the shoes with the help of Desma
machine from Germany as well as by pouring machine
known as Gusberti Machine.
In the manufacturing process, shoe soles are direct
molded onto uppers. If the bottom of the sole requires
enhanced mechanical properties, a thin layer of almost
compact polymer is molded in combination with a
midsole to create a dual density sole which is light,
comfortable and hard-wearing. In this DESMA machine
18 pairs of shoes can be prepared at a time so it
contains 36 components while in Gusbarti machine
there is 24 components that is it can produces 18 pairs
at a time. PU that is polyurethane is formed by the
reaction of Polyol and glycol. These two combines and
form the PU. By the help of DESMA many combination

6. Finishing & packing The finishing of a shoe depends on the material used
for making it. If made of leather, the sole edge and

Colombia has a free market economy with major


commercial and investment ties to the United
States.Colombia's economy has experienced rapid increase
over the past three years despite a serious armed conflict.
The economy continues to grow in part because of austere
government budgets, focused efforts to reduce public debt
levels, an export-oriented growth strategy, an improved
security situation in the country, and high commodity
prices.New exploration is needed to offset declining oil
production. International and domestic financial analysts
note with concern the growing central government deficit,
which hovers at 5% of GDP. However, the government's
economic policy and democratic security strategy have
engendered a growing sense of confidence in the economy,
particularly within the business sector.

Economy Dependency :Colombia is well-endowed with minerals and energy


resources. It has the largest coal reserves in Latin America,
and is second to Brazil in hydroelectric potential. Estimates
of petroleum reserves in 1995 were 3.1 billion barrels
(490,000,000 m3). It also possesses significant amounts
of nickel, gold, silver, platinum,
and emeralds.The Pastrana government has significantly
liberalized its petroleum investment policies, leading to an
increase in exploration activity. Refining capacity cannot
satisfy domestic demand, so some refined products,
especially gasoline, must be imported. Plans for the
construction of a new refinery are under development.As of
2004, Colombia has become a net energy exporter,
exporting electricity to Ecuador and developing
connections to Peru, Venezuela and Panama to export to
those markets as well. TheTrans-Caribbean
pipeline connecting western Venezuela to Panama through
Colombia is also under construction, thanks to cooperation
between presidents lvaro Uribe of Colombia, Martn
Torrijos of Panama and Hugo Chvez of Venezuela.
The most industrially diverse member of the five-nation
Andean Community, Colombia has four major industrial
centersBogota, Medellin, Cali, and Barranquilla, each
located in a distinct geographical region. Colombia's
industries include textiles and clothing, particularly

the cultivation of a wide variety of crops. In addition, all
regions yield forest products, ranging from tropical

Cacao
beans, sugarcane, coconuts, bananas, plantains, rice, cotto

certain flowers; maize and other vegetables; and fruits
such as citrus, pears, pineapples, and tomatoes. The cooler

Most of them are dominant in the local market. There is

The main industries of Ecuador are petroleum, food

completion of the second Transandean Oil Pipeline (OCP

exports. The OCP will double Ecuador's oil transport
capacity, but Ecuador will need to attract additional foreign
investment to realize the full economic potential of the

The industrial sector has had enormous difficulty to emerge

With a per capita gross domestic product of only $4,700 in

Agriculture and mining are Guyana's most important


economic activities, with sugar, bauxite, rice, and gold
accounting for 7075 percent of export earnings.Other
exports include timber, diamonds, garments, rum, and
pharmaceuticals. The value of these other exports is
increasing.
Since 1986, Guyana has received its entire wheat supply
from the United States on concessional terms under a PL
480 Food for Peace programme. It is now supplied on a
grant basis. The Guyanese currency generated by the sale
of the wheat is used for purposes agreed upon by the U.S.
and Guyana Governments. As with many developing
countries, Guyana is heavily indebted. Reduction of the
debt burden has been one of the present administration's
top priorities.
Guyana's extremely high debt burden to foreign creditors
has meant limited availability of foreign exchange and
reduced capacity to import necessary raw materials, spare
parts, and equipment, thereby further reducing production.
The increase in global fuel costs also contributed to the
country's decline in production and growing trade deficit.
The decline of production has increased unemployment.
Although no reliable statistics exist, combined
unemployment and underemployment are estimated at
about 30%.

CONCLUSION91

STRATEGIES FOR ENTERING IN EUROPEAN MARKE|


LOK NATH SHUKLA

After doing this research I came to know that in India there


is less consumer of Allen copper. Even it is giving great
competition to its competitors. Still because of the higher
price the profit is very less.
With an area of about 17,840,000 square kilometre and a
population estimated at more than 371,090,000 South
American countries have experienced significant economic
growth. However, because of histories of high inflation in
nearly all South American countries, interest rates remain
high and investment remains low.South America has a
rapidly developing economy. With many industries and a
flourishing trade and import-export market, it is fast
becoming an economy with considerable size.
From Superhouse viewpoint, South America is a
flourishing business continent. In order to initiate a
business with South America there dwells a lot of
opportunities as the existing prices of the respective In
house production for safety footwear are increasing as well
as Chinese products are their biggest rivals thats why
South America focuses on imports of safety footwear and
also ponders for the new import partners.
As far as history is concerned Indian products had
always occupied a distinguishing image in international
market. Indian products are always reliable and have a
peculiar brand image. For enhancing a business,
Superhouse could interact with the existing manufacturer

92

STRATEGIES FOR ENTERING IN EUROPEAN MARKE|


LOK NATH SHUKLA

of safety footwear and also can establish their own


distributor channels.
Apart from being the favorable point of business
initiation there also exists certain cons for Superhouse as
America and China proves to be the biggest hurdles for
Superhouse. For China the competition in price terms at
the root level is enhanced at a certain limit but it becomes
intense as the it emerges out at the superior product level.
Thus Superhouse gives the tougher competition to China
being the most identified business tycoon in India. Another
barrier being the import duty and to overcome this the
market is getting globalised day to day and the political
relations are on also merging up for better future prospects
which in turn help to glorify the business strength.
Language is also one of the important factors for a
business as it is the medium through which on can
communicate in their best terms thus Superhouse needs to
develop certain skills regarding the language (Spanish
being the official language).
There are many trade blocks in South America and
MERCOUSAR is one of the colossal block through which
Superhouse may consult for business in an effective and
efficient manner.
While doing the project it was concluded that the South
America is a growing economical potential market for
Superhouse to approach for business purpose and it should
settle the best cordial business relations.

Recommendations
Running a business is like riding on a roller coaster.
Although it is fun and exciting, there will be times when
youll be scared and feel powerless. During the bad times
there isnt much you can do, other than to keep on pushing
forward. Thus the seed of business lies in its practical
implementation.
To make business imperishable for the present and the
generations yet to come the following are the guideline
that booms out the business.

Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ecgc):ECGC is a company wholly owned by the government of
India that provides export credit insurance support to

94

STRATEGIES FOR ENTERING IN EUROPEAN MARKE|


LOK NATH SHUKLA

Indian exporter and is controlled by the ministry of


commerce.
Functions of ECGC: Provides a range of credit risk insurance covers to
exporters against loss in export of goods and services.
Offers guarantee to banks and financial institutions to
enable exporters to obtain better facilities from them.
Provides Overseas Investment Insurance to Indian
companies investing in joint venture abroad in the
form of equity or loan.
How ECGC Does helps exporters?
Offers insurance protections to exporters against
payment risks.
Provides guidance in export related activities.
Makes available information on different countries with
its own credit ratings
Makes it easy to obtain export finance from
banks/financial institutions.
Assists exporters in recovering bad debts.
Provides information on credit worthiness of overseas
buyers.

Superhouse has link up with ECGC that


provides various benefits through MBEP Policy i.e. Multi
Buyer Exposure Policy.MBEP is an exposure based policy
highly effective for exporters making large number of
shipments during a month and to different buyers. With the
help of this policy, commercial and political risks on the
95

STRATEGIES FOR ENTERING IN EUROPEAN MARKE|


LOK NATH SHUKLA

buyers and on the countries will be covered by ECGC, with


minimum paper works, which saves time of Superhouse.
Free trade agreement (FTA)
FTAs have proved to be one of the best ways to open up
foreign markets to exporters. Trade agreements reduce
barriers to Superhouse and protect interests and enhance
the rule of law in FTA partner country. The reduction of
trade barriers and a creation of a more stable and
transparent trading and investment environment make it
easier and cheaper for companies to export their products
and services to trading partner markets.
All of the South American countries are
indulged in FTA with United States. The trade relations
between South America and United States are very much
fruitful with minimum business complexities due to free
trade relations. These relations in turn help to reduce the
import duties and trade barriers. Some of the South
American countries like Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Peru, and
Argentina have liberal and flexible trade relations with
China. There also exists a barter form system between the
countries for e.g. Argentina is a maximum producer of soya
and that is exchanged for various products including safety
footwear with China.
China being more proficient in
selling safety footwear at the lowest selling price is a
grandeur competitor of Superhouse and due to FTA with
China; Superhouse faces tough competition to capture the
96

STRATEGIES FOR ENTERING IN EUROPEAN MARKE|


LOK NATH SHUKLA

market in terms of price. As far as quality is concerned


Superhouse produces the best quality safety shoes in every
aspects and due to globalization there exists a great
opportunity to enhance FTA in the near future thus
occupying a more reliable place in both quantity and
quality terms. Geographically both China and U.S are
nearby to South America than India thus mobility of
business becomes easy.
Hedging
Hedging is the process of managing the risk of price
changes in physical material by offsetting that risk in the
future market. Hedging can vary in complexity from a
relatively simply activity, through to a highly complex
strategies, including the use of option. The ability to hedge
means that industry can decide on the amount of risk it is
prepared to accept. It may wish to eliminate the risk
entirely and can generally do so quickly and easily.
Hedging is a two step process gain or loss in the cash
position due to changes in price level will be countered by
changes in the value of a future position. If there is a fall in
price, the loss in the cash market position will be countered
by a gain in future position.
How hedging is done
In this type of transaction, the hedger tries to fix the price
at a certain level with a objective of insuring certainty in
the cost of production or revenue of sale.
97

The futures market also has substantial


participation by speculator who takes position based on the
price movement and bet upon it. Also, there are
arbitrageurs who use this market to pocket profits
whenever there are inefficiencies in the prices. However,
they ensure that the prices of spot and future remains
correlated.
Due to fluctuate nature of dollar, Superhouse
must consider hedging in business transaction as it
may minimize the risk to certain limit thus
enhancing the business growth.
Import Duty
A tax collected on imports and some exports by the
customs authorities of a country. This tax is used to raise
state revenue. It is based on the value of goods called ad
valorem duty or the weight, dimensions, or other criteria of
the item such as its size. Also referred to as customs duty,
tariff, import tax and import tariff.
1. Argentinas Import Duty
Argentina and its MERCOSUR partners established the
MERCOSUR common external tariff (CET) on January 1,
1995. The CET ranges from zero to thirty present, and until
recently averaged 17 present. Since January 1, 1998, as a
temporary measure until December 31, 2000, Argentina

increase that affects all imports into Argentina, except
98

those from Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil (i.e. 14% + 3% of


additional import duty). Tariff lines with zero present duty,
capital goods, and telecommunication and computing
services are exempted. As of January 2001, the CET has
been reduced to 2.5 present, and there are expectations
that it will be reduced to 1.5 percent by 2002.the Argentine
Government introduced minimum import prices on several
products covered by specific HS codes.
2. Chiles Import Duty
Imports are subject to the same 18 percent Value Added
Tax (VAT) as are domestic goods. Chilean customs
valuation uses the normal value of merchandise, without
special discounts, plus freight and insurance (CIF). Use
goods are valued by the customs service according to the
current new value of similar merchandise, discounting ten
percent per year of use, up to a 70-percent discount.
3. Ecuadors Import Duty
Ecuador accounts for an average of about 25% of the
import duty on the Personal Protective Equipment required
for shipment to other countries.
4. Colombias Import Duty
Import duties are quoted ad valorem on the CIF value of
shipments. All duties (with few exceptions) have been
consolidated into four tariff levels as follows: a) 5 present
for raw materials, intermediate and capital goods not
produced in Colombia; b) 10 and 15 percent for goods in
99

the above categories but with domestic production


registered in Colombia; c) 20 percent for finished consumer
goods; and d) some exceptions to these general rules, such
as import duties for automobiles vehicles, which remain at
the level of 35 percent and 40 percent, and some
agricultural products which fall under a variable import
duty system (price band). It is estimated that the
Colombian tariffs weighted average fluctuates between 11
percent and 13.5 percent.
All imports must be registered with the Colombian Ministry
of Foreign Trade in the form of a specific application known
as "Registro de Importacin".
EXPORT Documentation
When preparing for Export Documentation, the exporter
needs to be aware of packing, labeling, documentation,
and insurance requirements. Because the goods are being
shipped by unknown carriers to distant customers, the new
exporter must be sure to follow all shipping requirements
to help ensure that the merchandise is packed correctly so
that it arrives in good condition;
Labeled correctly to ensure that the goods are handled
properly and arrive on time and at the right place;
documented correctly to meet local and foreign
government requirements as well as proper collection
standards; and Insured against damage, loss, and pilferage
and, in some cases, delay.

Because of the variety of considerations involved in the


physical Export Documentation, most exporters, both new
and experienced, rely on an international freight forwarder
to perform these services.
DOCUMENTATION
Exporters should seriously consider having the freight
forwarder handle the formidable amount of documentation
that exporting requires; freight forwarders are specialists in
this process. The following documents are commonly used
in exporting; which of them are actually used in each case
depends on the requirements of both our government and
the government of the importing country.
Commercial invoice. As in a domestic transaction,
the commercial invoice is a bill for the goods from the
buyer to the seller. A commercial invoice should
include basic information about the transaction,
including a description of the goods, the address of the
shipper and seller, and the delivery and payment
terms. The buyer needs the invoice to prove ownership
and to arrange payment. Some governments use the
commercial invoice to assess customs duties.
Bill of lading. Bills of lading are contracts between
the owner of the goods and the carrier (as with
domestic shipments). There are two types. A straight
bill of lading is nonnegotiable. A negotiable or
shipper's order bill of lading can be bought, sold, or
traded while goods are in transit and is used for letter101

of-credit transactions. The customer usually needs the


original or a copy as proof of ownership to take
possession of the goods.
Consular invoice. Certain nations require a consular
invoice, which is used to control and identify goods.
The invoice must be purchased from the consulate of
the country to which the goods are being shipped and
usually must be prepared in the language of that
country.
Certificate of origin. Certain nations require a signed
statement as to the origin of the export item. Such
certificates are usually obtained through a semiofficial
organization such as a local chamber of commerce. A
certificate may be required even though the commercial
invoice contains the information.
Inspection certification. Some purchasers and
countries may require a certificate of inspection
attesting to the specifications of the goods shipped,
usually performed by a third party. Inspection
certificates are often obtained from independent
testing organizations.
Dock receipt and warehouse receipt. These
receipts are used to transfer accountability when the
export item is moved by the domestic carrier to the
port of embarkation and left with the international
carrier for export.

Destination control statement. This statement


appears on the commercial invoice, ocean or air
waybill of lading, and SED to notify the carrier and all
foreign parties that the item may be exported only to
certain destinations.
Insurance certificate. If the seller provides
insurance, the insurance certificate states the type
and amount of coverage. This instrument is
negotiable.
Export packing list. An export packing list itemizes
the material in each individual package and indicates
the type of package: box, crate, drum, carton, and so
on. It shows the individual net, legal, tare, and gross
weights and measurements for each package. Package
markings should be shown along with the shipper's
and buyer's references. The packing list should be
attached to the outside of a package in a waterproof
envelope marked "packing list enclosed." The list is
used by the shipper or forwarding agent to determine
(1) the total shipment weight and volume and (2)
whether the correct cargo is being shipped. In addition,
customs officials (both local and foreign) may use the
list to check the cargo. Documentation must be
precise. Slight discrepancies or omissions may prevent
merchandise from being exported, result in exporting
firms not getting paid, or even result in the seizure of
the exporter's goods by local or foreign government
customs. Collection documents are subject to precise

time limits and may not be honored by a bank if out of


date. Much of the documentation is routine for freight
forwarders or customs brokers acting on the firm's
behalf, but the exporter is ultimately responsible for
the accuracy of the documentation. The number of
documents the exporter must deal with varies
depending on the destination of the shipment.
Because each country has different import regulations,
the exporter must be careful to provide proper
documentation. If the exporter does not rely on the
services of a freight forwarder, there are several
methods of obtaining information on foreign import
restrictions: Foreign government embassies and
consulates can often provide information on import
regulations.
Documents required
certain documentation takes place while exporting from
India. Special documents may be required depending on
the type of product or destination. Certain export products
may require a quality control inspection certificate from the
Export Inspection Agency. Some food and pharmaceutical
product may require a health or sanitary certificate for
export.
Shipping Bill/ Bill of Export is the main document required
by the Customs Authority for allowing shipment. Usually
the Shipping Bill is of four types and the major distinction
lies with regard to the goods being subject to certain
conditions which are mentioned below:
