Import Tips

• Verify leather upper exceeds 50% external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide tannery certificates for authenticity

• Confirm outer sole is predominantly leather in ground contact per Note 4(b); test for durability if textile elements present

• Label clearly as men's sizing to avoid reclassification to girls' or women's subheadings; watch for common pitfalls in composite soles
