Import Tips
• Confirm the outer sole is solely rubber and the upper is solely vegetable fibre canvas meeting the weight threshold
• Be ready to show that the hemp rope sole is not the dominant ground-contact material if it is not rubber
• Keep documentation of the fabric weave and weight for CBSA verification
