Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the outer sole material is at least 50% leather by surface area in contact with the ground, excluding reinforcements, per Chapter Note 4(b)

Provide lab test reports confirming textile upper dominance and leather sole composition to avoid reclassification to rubber/plastic sole categories

Label footwear clearly as 'for women' based on size and design; mislabeling can lead to audits or duty adjustments
