Import Tips
• Verify that the outer sole is solely rubber and the upper is solely vegetable fibre canvas meeting the weight and weave specifications
• Provide clear product photos and material breakdowns to CBSA to avoid classification disputes
• Check if the shoes qualify as sports footwear under subheading note 1, as basketball shoes are explicitly included
