Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for upper to confirm textile dominance, ignoring buckles/straps per Chapter Note 4(a)
• Provide invoices proving value >$2.50/pair and composition certificates to Customs for smooth clearance
• Avoid common pitfall of sole misidentification; test for leather vs. composition leather durability
