Classic men's loafers featuring uppers made primarily from genuine pigskin leather, with outer soles of composition leather for durability and flexibility. These casual dress shoes are designed for everyday professional wear and fall under HTS 6403.59.60.40 due to the pigskin uppers and leather outer soles, distinguishing them from other leather types. The pigskin provides a soft, supple feel ideal for comfort.

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
