Import Tips
• Verify pigskin upper via lab testing as it must be the material with greatest external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a)
• Provide detailed leather origin certificates to confirm pigskin from headings 4107 or 4112-4114
• Avoid misclassification as sports footwear under 6402 if no spikes/cleats; document casual athletic use
