Import Tips

• Provide lab tests confirming oil content and thickness suitable for soles to distinguish from upper leather during customs inspection

• Ensure supplier declarations specify 'non-reversible tanning' to comply with chapter note (a) for headings 4104-4106 exclusions

• Avoid common pitfalls by separating sole leather from mixed shipments of upper leather to prevent reclassification of the entire lot
