Import Tips
• Verify valuation between $6.50-$12/pair with invoices; misvaluation leads to reclassification
• Confirm upper/sole materials via lab tests as rubber/plastics per Chapter Note 4; textile coatings count as plastics
• Label as 'tennis shoes' accurately; avoid generic 'sneakers' to prevent scrutiny
