Men's Wooden Platform Oxford Shoes
These men's dress shoes feature a sturdy wooden base or platform as the primary structure of the sole, combined with a leather upper for a formal look. The outer sole is covered in rubber or composition leather for ground contact, qualifying under HTS 6403.99.20.30 due to the wooden platform and men's sizing. They provide elevation and style suitable for business or evening wear.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the external surface area of the leather upper exceeds any other material per Chapter Note 4(a) to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed photos and cross-sections showing the wooden platform base to confirm classification during customs review
• Ensure accurate men's sizing documentation, as women's or unisex versions shift to different subheadings
