Import Tips

• Verify outer sole material via lab testing to confirm leather or composition leather exceeds 50% weight and ground contact per Chapter Note 4(b)

• Document pair valuation over $2.50 with invoices; undervaluation risks reclassification to lower-value subheadings

• Ensure textile upper has greatest external surface area, excluding accessories like buckles or tabs as per Chapter Note 4(a)
