Import Tips
• Verify the upper is fully formed and not attached to any sole other than outer soles per Chapter Note 6
• Provide lab tests confirming leather from headings 4107 or 4112-4114 to avoid misclassification as textile
• Label clearly as 'formed upper for men's footwear' to prevent customs disputes on completeness
