Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for uppers and soles as per Chapter Notes 4(a)-(b) prior to import declaration
• Retain supplier affidavits certifying <50% textile + rubber/plastics and leather sole dominance
• Watch for reclassification if sold in sets with insoles, as parts may separate under heading 6406 exclusions
