Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain tanning process documentation proving pigskin from heading 4114; synthetic imitations classified as plastics under Chapter note 4

• Avoid common error of including ornamental metal toes in surface area calculation per note 4(a)

• Label clearly as 'men's' with size charts; CBP may inspect for youth misclassification
