Import Tips
• Verify leather upper exceeds 50% external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if contested
• Include detailed material composition invoices to avoid misclassification as textile uppers under 6404
• Ensure labeling specifies 'men's' to confirm 'for other persons' and prevent child footwear scrutiny
