Import Tips

• Verify the upper is predominantly leather (greatest external surface area) per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if composition is questioned

• Document welt construction with photos or manufacturer specs to confirm classification over non-welt leather footwear

• Ensure accurate gender designation as 'for women'; mixed shipments may require separate invoicing
