Import Tips
• Verify leather upper exceeds 50% external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if contested
• Include safety certifications (e.g
• ASTM for steel toes) in documentation to avoid reclassification as casual footwear
• Declare welt construction explicitly; common pitfall is mislabeling as sewn, leading to higher duties
