Import Tips
• Test thickness and density to confirm sole leather suitability; mislabeling as upper can trigger audits
• Provide lab analysis showing crust processing (fat-liquored, dried) without reversible tanning
• Avoid packaging with finished goods to prevent classification as further prepared under 4107
