Import Tips
• 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
