Import Tips

• Verify pigskin origin with supplier certificates, as Chapter 64 defines leather from headings 4107/4112-4114; mislabeling as other leather can trigger reclassification

• Measure external surface area of upper to confirm pigskin exceeds 50% per note 4(a); document with photos and lab tests to avoid CBP disputes

• Include men's sizing (US 7+) in documentation; common pitfall is classifying youth sizes here instead of appropriate subheadings
