Import Tips
• Verify leather upper exceeds 50% external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if disputed
• Declare exact value per pair accurately to confirm over $2.50 threshold; undervaluation leads to penalties
• Ensure no sports features like cleats to avoid reclassification under sports footwear subheadings
