Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the outer sole material has the greatest ground contact area (rubber/plastics) per Chapter Note 4(b); document with material specs to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab tests confirming value exceeds $12/pair and sports design; common pitfall is mislabeling as non-sports casual sneakers
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC fiber content rules if any textile visible, even if not dominant
