Import Tips
• Verify leather upper covers greatest external surface area (note 4(a)); document tanning process for headings 4107/4112-4114 compliance
• Confirm welt construction via manufacturing specs; soles must have leather as primary ground-contact material (note 4(b))
• Avoid misclassification as rubber/plastics soles (6403.51); provide lab tests if reinforcements questioned
