Import Tips

Verify outer sole material via lab testing to confirm leather/composition leather is the ground-contacting material per Chapter Note 4(b)

Document weight composition breakdown showing <50% rubber/plastics and ≥10% to avoid misclassification to other subheadings

Label clearly as women's footwear and retain value proofs exceeding $2.50/pair to prevent undervaluation penalties
