Import Tips
• Verify leather upper composition via lab testing as per chapter note 4(a); ensure greatest external surface area is leather from headings 4107 or 4112-4114
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'men's basketball shoes, leather upper, covers ankle' to avoid misclassification as non-ankle or women's footwear
