Import Tips
• Verify the external surface area of the upper is predominantly textile per Chapter Note 4(a); document value exceeding $12/pair with invoices
• Ensure gender-specific labeling as 'for women' to avoid reclassification
• Common pitfall: misidentifying minimal leather reinforcements as changing upper material
