Import Tips
• Ensure the hemp canvas is treated as a textile material and not as a plastic-coated fabric, which would change classification
• Document the fiber content and surface area to support the vegetable fiber claim
• Verify the flats are not orthopaedic or sports footwear, which would be excluded
