Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurement for uppers; pigskin must exceed other materials, ignoring reinforcements per Note 4(a)
• Provide invoices specifying 'pigskin' to match subheading; generic 'leather' may trigger CBP review
• Avoid pitfalls with ornaments; exclude trimmings from upper material calculation per chapter notes
