Import Tips
• Verify the wooden base constitutes the primary platform without an inner sole via cross-section photos for CBP inspection
• Provide lab tests confirming leather upper (from headings 4107/4112-4114) dominates external surface area
• Avoid misclassification by documenting absence of metal toe-caps and ensuring rubber sole contact area compliance
