Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements ignoring reinforcements to confirm leather as primary upper material
• Label products clearly as 'genuine leather' and retain supplier affidavits for CBP audits
• Watch for misdeclaration as 'composition leather' without proof, leading to reclassification
