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
