Import Tips
• Confirm no provisions for spikes/cleats to avoid sports footwear reclassification under subheading note
• Provide photos showing leather sole contact with ground; CBP often challenges composition leather claims
• Declare value per pair accurately; over $12/pair fits 'other' but watch for undervaluation audits
