Hello everybody!
I make some medieval leatherworks, and now I'm trying to find the way to sell them to Europe and USA. So I wanted to ask if anybody here has experiense of bying goods in Ukraine or Russia?
The main problem is shipping. So if you know shipping companies in your country working with Ukraine - please, give me the link.
Here are some examples of my work:

I have bought pieces of armor, and also boots, from Ukraine. The shipping is considerable, but otherwise not a problem. If your work and customer service are consistently high quality, you should be able to sell in the US (now, we are in a recession, so your sales might be slow until the economy recovers, but the images I'm seeing seem to show pretty good leatherwork).

Щасти!

I'd agree that you should check with the armorers
on the archive that live near you.
