 "description": "The finished shoe is not in Annex I and the cattle leather is. Which Annex I lines reach it, why ex matters here, and what Article 9 requires.",
 "territory": "reg",
 "category": null,
 "direct_answer": "**The finished shoe is not in Annex I. The cattle hide and leather it is made from are. Footwear classifies in Chapter 64 and Chapter 64 does not appear in the annex, so the obligation attaches to the leather when the leather is placed on the market, not to the shoe when the shoe is.**",
