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
