Import Tips
• Verify leather upper constitutes greatest external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); document with photos and lab tests
• Provide value declaration proving over $2.50/pair to avoid reclassification to lower-value subheadings
• Label correctly as women's footwear based on fit and styling to prevent misclassification as unisex
