Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify leather origin documentation (e.g
• from headings 4107 or 4112-4114) to confirm upper and sole materials per Chapter Notes
• Measure external surface area of upper materials; leather must dominate to avoid reclassification to textile uppers in 6403.99
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling composition leather soles, which could shift to 6403.51 if rubber/plastics dominate
