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)
