Import Tips
• Provide cross-section images showing welt rib; U.S
• Customs often audits for true welt vs. imitation
• Confirm upper material exceeds 50% external surface per Chapter Note 4(a), excluding reinforcements
• Avoid bulk packaging misclassification; retail-ready units prevent parts heading shift
