Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify leather origin per Chapter Note 3 using invoices and mill certificates to confirm headings 4107 or 4112-4114
• Document welt construction photos and specs to distinguish from cemented soles, avoiding misclassification
• Label 'genuine leather' accurately; test sole material to ensure leather dominates ground contact per Note 4(b)
