Import Tips & Compliance
• Measure external upper surface to confirm leather dominance, excluding reinforcements like ankle straps
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 'slippers' if designed for outdoor use; provide wear intent evidence
• Certify platform as 'wood base' vs. solid wood block to match subheading language precisely
