Import Tips & Compliance

Verify leather content exceeds 50% by weight and obtain a lab test report to confirm classification as leather rather than textile or plastic dominant

Include sports-specific design documentation, such as grip patterns for ski poles, to justify 'specially designed for sports' under heading 4203

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as general work gloves, which shifts to 4203.29; ensure no fur linings to prevent reclassification to 4303
