Import Tips

• Verify leather surface area exceeds 50% of external upper using Chapter Note 4(a); document measurements to avoid reclassification as pure textile upper

• Provide supplier affidavits confirming 'formed upper' status (stitched and shaped but sole unattached) to prevent classification as complete footwear

• Label clearly as 'footwear upper' and avoid including outer soles or stiffeners to stay within heading 6406 parts definition
