Import Tips & Compliance
• Use size charts proving 'youths/boys' fit (e.g
• EU 35-42) to distinguish from women's sizes
• Avoid including heel cushions as separate items; they classify under 6406.10.90 if removable
• Test for 'greatest external surface area' being leather per Chapter Note 4(a) to prevent textile downgrade
