Import Tips
• Document jute wrapping doesn't alter wooden base classification; focus on platform's primary wood composition
• Ensure import invoices specify 'no inner sole' to prevent reclassification during examination
• Conduct material testing for upper leather authenticity to avoid textile misclassification pitfalls
