Import Tips
• Obtain CITES docs if pigskin from restricted sources; declare as 'genuine pigskin' on commercial invoice
• Document welt stitching method to differentiate from cemented construction under hierarchy
• Avoid pitfalls by measuring sole contact area—rubber must dominate per Chapter Note 4(b)
