Import Tips
• Document composition leather sourcing from headings 4107/4112-4114 per Chapter Note 3 to validate sole material
• Use detailed photos and specs in entries to confirm no sports features per subheading note on spikes/cleats
• Watch for misdeclaration of value; CBP uses transaction value method for low-cost goods
