Import Tips & Compliance

• Label clearly as 'men's' based on US sizing (above D8 or equiv.); mis-sizing leads to reclassification

• Document welt sole attachment method to distinguish from stitch-down or cemented constructions

• Check for reinforcements not counting toward upper material per Chapter Note 4(a) to avoid textile shift
