Oxford dress shoes with textile quarters and a leather saddle and eyelet covering over 50% of the external upper surface, with a leather composition sole.

Import Tips
• Verify that the leather saddle and eyelet are not considered accessories under Note 4(a); they must be integral to the upper's structure
• Document the sole composition, as 'leather composition' may be classified as rubber/plastics under Chapter 64
• Keep records of the upper's surface area breakdown for CBSA verification
