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
