Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for uppers to substantiate leather dominance during customs review
• Include invoices showing per-pair pricing to meet valuation criteria and prevent undervaluation disputes
• Avoid mislabeling as 'casual sneakers' which could trigger sports footwear scrutiny
