Import Tips
• Verify welt construction via manufacturer specs; customs may inspect stitching to confirm not Goodyear welt (6403.99.60)
• Provide lab tests confirming leather upper has greatest external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a)
• Label footwear clearly with material composition to avoid reclassification as textile upper (6404)
