Import Tips
• Verify leather upper exceeds 50% external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if contested
• Confirm golf-specific design with soft spikes; generic athletic shoes may shift to 6403.19.90
• Include spike attachment provisions in product specs to avoid reclassification as non-sports footwear
