Import Tips
• 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
