Import Tips

• Verify leather upper composition meets Chapter Note 4(a) criteria by documenting external surface area measurements

• Provide lab tests confirming genuine leather from headings 4107 or 4112-4114 to avoid reclassification

• Include invoices specifying welt construction and sports design to prevent common pitfalls like misclassification as casual shoes
