Import Tips
• Provide detailed construction diagrams showing welt rib to prove classification over direct-attach methods
• Ensure upper surface area is predominantly leather per Note 4(a), ignoring minor reinforcements
• Avoid common pitfall of sole mismeasurement; confirm leather's greatest ground contact area
