Import Tips
• Provide lab tests or supplier affidavits confirming leather composition excluding any rubber/plastics layers visible to naked eye
• Label clearly as 'men's' sizing (youths/boys separate); include care instructions to aid valuation and classification
• Watch for 'covert' rubber inserts disguised as leather—disclose in invoices to prevent penalties for undervaluation
