Import Tips

Suede counts as leather per Chapter Note 3(b); source from headings 4107/4112-4114 certified suppliers

Test sole for 'greatest surface area' contact; embedded rubber layers can trigger 6403.91 misclassification

Use ISF filings early; leather goods face frequent holds for origin verification
