Import Tips
• Verify pigskin upper covers greatest external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); document tannage from headings 4107 or 4112-4114
• Confirm valuation under $2.50/pair with commercial invoice; declare as 'for women' based on size/fit (typically women's US 5+)
• Avoid misclassification as sports footwear; provide lab tests if sole has non-durable textile elements per US Note
