Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for upper/sole materials; retain supplier certifications for leather origin
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as plastics if minor coatings present—naked eye visibility rules apply per Note 3
• Include gender-specific marketing docs; mislabeling as 'unisex' risks reclassification
