Import Tips

• Verify pigskin upper via lab testing for surface area dominance (per Chapter Note 4(a)); declare accurately to avoid reclassification

• Include leather tanning certificates and invoices specifying pigskin origin from HTS 4107 for customs compliance

• Avoid mislabeling as 'other leather' to prevent audits; common pitfall is under-declaring value for duty evasion
