Import Tips

• Verify leather upper exceeds 50% external surface area via lab testing to confirm classification over textile alternatives

• Include detailed material breakdown in invoices; declare as 'other tennis/basketball shoes for men' to avoid misclassification as sports footwear

• Watch for Chapter Note exclusions—ensure no spikes/cleats, or it shifts to 6403.12/6403.19
