Men's Leather Turnsole Dress Shoes from China

This method is typical for high-end bespoke footwear, qualifying under HTS 6403.59.15.61 due to leather uppers and leather outer soles in turn-turned style. The predominant external surface area of the upper is leather, meeting Chapter Note 4(a).

Import Tips

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)
