Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify pigskin upper via lab testing for tannage (headings 4107/4112-4114); document certificates of origin for leather sourcing
• Confirm outer sole is rubber/plastics (greatest ground contact); exclude if textile-dominant without durability
• Avoid classifying as sports footwear (6402.99) if no provisions for spikes/cleats; common pitfall leads to audits
