Import Tips
• Verify pigskin upper dominates external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); document tanning origin from headings 4107 or 4112-4114
• Provide lab tests confirming spikes qualify as sports footwear per subheading note; avoid misclassification as casual shoes
• Label clearly as women's golf shoes; common pitfall is incorrect gender sizing leading to reclassification
