Import Tips & Compliance

• Document leather surface measurements with diagrams; ensure reinforcements like eyestays qualify under note 4(a)

• Label fiber content accurately for textile portions; non-compliance risks detention at ports

• Verify sole material contact area per note 4(b); plastics common but must dominate ground contact
