Import Tips

Verify welt construction via manufacturer specs or disassembly to confirm classification as welt footwear

Label fiber content accurately for leather uppers and ensure documentation shows material of greatest external surface area

Avoid misclassification as non-welt by providing sewing diagrams; common pitfall is confusing with cemented construction
