Import Tips

Verify the outer sole material is predominantly leather or composition leather by weight, excluding minor reinforcements, to confirm classification under 6404

Provide lab test reports or material breakdowns proving <50% rubber/plastics and <50% textile+rubber/plastics, with ≥10% rubber/plastics

Avoid misclassification as 6404.20.60 by ensuring value documentation shows ≤$2.50/pair; common pitfall is undervaluation claims triggering audits
