What to check before exhibiting or visiting
Italy is one of the largest markets in the world for leather goods, footwear and apparel imports, as shown by the sector import figures on this page. That size makes LINEAPELLE a relevant stop for a Spanish company selling leather, components or textile inputs into that supply chain, whether the buyer is Italian or sources through Italy for re-export.
Since Spain and Italy are both EU member states, trade in leather and leather-based goods between the two moves under the EU single market: no customs declaration or import tariff applies to goods in free circulation. What still needs checking is any product-specific requirement, such as REACH restrictions on chemical substances in leather or labelling rules for footwear and apparel, which apply regardless of the fair.
If the goal is to use LINEAPELLE to reach buyers beyond Italy, the tariff and documentation that apply depend entirely on the destination country and its trade agreement with the EU. That is looked up per country and per HS heading in Access2Markets.
No exhibitor list or attendee directory is published for this fair on this page. Preparation for LINEAPELLE means having product samples, technical data sheets and compliance documentation ready, since buyers in leather and components evaluate materials on specification as much as on price.
The fair's own dates for the next edition were not available at the time this page was built; the organiser's site is the place to confirm them before planning travel or booking a stand.
Do I need an import licence to sell leather from Spain to Italy?
No. Spain and Italy are both in the EU single market, so leather and leather goods moving between them are not subject to customs duties or import licences. Any restriction that applies comes from product safety or chemical rules, such as REACH, not from customs.
What is exhibited at LINEAPELLE?
Leather, accessories, components, synthetics and models used in the manufacture of footwear, leather goods, garments and furniture. It is a materials and components fair, not a finished-goods fair aimed at retail buyers.
Is LINEAPELLE only relevant if I sell to Italy?
No. Many buyers who source at LINEAPELLE manufacture in Italy for export to other EU and non-EU markets, so the fair can open a route into third countries even when the direct buyer is Italian. What applies to those onward markets, such as tariffs or specific standards, depends on the final destination and is checked separately for each one.
How large is the Italian market for leather and related products?
According to UN Comtrade figures for 2025, apparel, footwear and leather articles are among Italy's largest import chapters by value, with footwear alone declared at over 8.7 billion USD in imports. This reflects Italy's role as both a consumer market and a manufacturing hub that sources materials for re-export.
Are there other fairs to consider alongside LINEAPELLE?
Yes. Fairs such as MICAM Milano, covering footwear, or MOMAD in Madrid, covering fashion, footwear and accessories, address adjacent parts of the same supply chain and are worth comparing depending on whether the focus is materials or finished product.
