Import Tips
• Label footwear clearly as 'genuine leather' with country of tannage to comply with US marking rules
• Provide technical specs on construction to CBP; turnsole misread as sewn could lead to 6403.19 reclassification
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete sole material declaration; must confirm leather per Note 4(b)
