Import Tips
• Verify the wooden base constitutes the primary platform structure per chapter note 4(a) for uppers and 4(b) for soles
• Provide detailed construction photos and material breakdowns to avoid misclassification as standard leather footwear
• Ensure no inner sole is present; even thin fabric layers could shift to other subheadings
