Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify leather origin with certificates from headings 4107 or 4112-4114 per Chapter Note 3(b); synthetic leather disqualifies
• Document turnsole construction in invoices to avoid misclassification as cemented footwear under 6403.99
• Measure upper surface area precisely; reinforcements like eyelets don't count per Note 4(a)
