Import Tips

• Verify the metal toe-cap meets ASTM F2413 standards and provide test certifications to avoid reclassification

• Document welt construction with photos or manufacturer specs, as improper sole attachment can lead to misclassification

• Ensure leather content exceeds 50% external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a) to confirm upper material
