Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify leather upper exceeds 50% external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if contested
• Document sole material as leather (from HTS 4107/4112-4114) with greatest ground contact; avoid misclassification as rubber/plastics
• Label clearly for women and ensure no sports features like spikes to stay in 'other' category; common pitfall is undervaluation
