Import Tips
• Label footwear clearly as 'women's' with size charts comparing to men's equivalents to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed sole material breakdown; composition leather must cover greatest ground contact area
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring welt as sewn-through; inspect for true welt stitching
