Import Tips

• Verify outer sole material has greatest ground contact area (rubber/plastics) per Chapter Note 4(b); ignore minor textile reinforcements

• Provide detailed value documentation like invoices to confirm under $3/pair threshold; undervaluation risks penalties

• Label footwear clearly with materials and country of origin; ensure no sports features like cleats to avoid reclassification
