Import Tips
• Document men's-specific sizing (e.g
• US 7-14) and sports design features to distinguish from casual footwear
• Conduct surface area measurements ignoring reinforcements as per chapter note 4(a) for accurate leather percentage
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain athletic footwear from specific countries like Vietnam
