Import Tips

• Verify the upper's material composition via lab testing to confirm leather content per chapter note 4(a), as predominant external surface area determines classification

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'footwear upper, not attached to sole' to avoid misclassification as complete footwear under Chapter 64 headings

• Ensure no outer sole components are included, as those would shift to different subheadings; common pitfall is incomplete disassembly documentation
