Import Tips
• Verify pigskin upper material via lab testing or supplier certification, as upper material is determined by greatest external surface area
• Include detailed invoices showing value over $2.50/pair and specify 'for women' sizing to avoid reclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'sports footwear' without spikes, which could shift to 6402.99
