Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for uppers to prove textile predominance; ignore reinforcements like eyelets
• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying as higher-value subheading—retain purchase orders showing unit price
• Ensure no spikes/cleats; if present, reclassify per sports footwear definition
