Import Tips
• Provide upper material certification; leather must be from headings 4107/4112-4114 per Chapter Note 3(b)
• Avoid bulk packaging claims—retail-ready pairs classify here, not as parts under 6406
• Document as non-spiked athletic shoes to prevent reclassification to narrow sports footwear subheadings
