Import Tips

• Document the external surface area measurements to prove textile dominance, as minor leather trims do not change the primary material per chapter notes

• Include manufacturing blueprints showing integration into full uppers to distinguish from complete footwear under 6404

• Avoid bundling with heel counters, as sets may trigger classification under different parts subheadings; declare as individual components
