Import Tips
• Verify the outer sole material has the greatest ground contact per Chapter Note 4(b); document with material specs to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab tests confirming value over $12/pair and sports design; common pitfall is mislabeling as non-sports casual sneakers
• Ensure labeling includes fiber content if any textiles are visible, even if plastics dominate the upper
