Import Tips
• Verify the upper's external surface area is predominantly leather (over 50%) via lab testing to confirm classification
• Provide invoices detailing value per pair to ensure it exceeds $2.50 threshold; undervaluation leads to audits
• Include country-of-origin certificates for leather sourcing to avoid anti-dumping duties
