Import Tips

• Verify leather origin with certificates from headings 4107 or 4112-4114 to confirm upper and sole materials per Chapter Note 4

• Measure external surface area of upper (ignoring accessories) and sole-ground contact to substantiate leather dominance; document with photos

• Avoid misclassification as rubber/plastics sole (6403.51) by proving leather's greatest contact area; common pitfall is overlooking reinforcements
