Import Tips

• Measure external surface area of upper precisely, including leather toe caps and ankle patches, to confirm >50% leather per Chapter Note 4(a)

• Provide lab test reports verifying leather content on accessories; CBP often audits footwear uppers visually and via documentation

• Avoid misclassifying as 6404.19.90 if textile exceeds 50%; common pitfall leads to duty refunds or penalties
