Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify pigskin upper via lab testing if contested, as it must dominate external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a)

• Provide tanning certificates for leather origin to avoid misclassification as synthetic

• Label clearly as 'women's' to distinguish from unisex; watch for size-based reclassification pitfalls
