Import Tips
• Verify valuation under $3/pair with detailed invoices; overvaluation shifts to higher subheadings like 6402.91.90
• Confirm rubber/plastics comprise greatest external upper surface per Chapter Note 4(a); document material tests
• Label clearly as women's footwear; misgendering risks reclassification to unisex or men's codes
