Import Tips

• Verify pigskin upper via surface area test per Chapter Note 4(a); document tanning origin from headings 4107 or 4112-4114

• Include lab tests confirming composition leather sole (bonded leather) to avoid reclassification to rubber/plastics soles

• Label footwear clearly with materials; common pitfall is misdeclaring upper material, leading to penalties
