Import Tips
• 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
