Import Tips
• Verify the wooden base constitutes the primary platform structure and document material composition to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab tests confirming no inner sole or metal toe-cap; ensure leather upper has greatest external surface area per Chapter Note 4
• Label footwear clearly with country of origin and material content to prevent delays at customs
