Import Tips

Verify leather origin with certificates from headings 4107 or 4112-4114 to confirm upper material dominance by external surface area

Document that boots do not meet sports footwear criteria (no spikes/provisions) to avoid reclassification

Label footwear clearly with material composition; pitfalls include mismeasuring upper surface area including reinforcements
