Import Tips
• Verify leather upper constitutes greatest external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if contested
• Document value exceeding $2.50/pair with invoices; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to reclassification
• Label as 'basketball shoes' accurately; avoid generic 'sneakers' to prevent shift to 6403.99.90.90
