Import Tips
• Provide proof of sports design (e.g
• traction patterns); common error is classifying as fashion sneakers for lower duties
• Use appraised value declarations; fluctuations in exchange rates can shift valuation brackets unexpectedly
• Comply with REACH for plastics components if from EU suppliers to avoid entry refusals
