Import Tips
• Verify outer sole material is predominantly leather (greatest ground contact area) via lab testing to avoid reclassification to rubber/plastics soles
• Document textile upper composition with supplier invoices and fiber content labels for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling reinforcements as changing the predominant upper material
