Import Tips

• Ensure the paper straw upper is the dominant material by external surface area, as per Chapter Note 4

• Verify that the flip-flops are not considered disposable, which would exclude them under Chapter Note 1(a)

• Provide clear product photos and material breakdowns to CBSA to support the textile upper classification
