Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for upper/sole materials as per Chapter Note 4; document for audits
• Pair with proper HTS entry summary; mismatches cause delays at ports like LA/Long Beach
• Avoid bulk packaging that implies industrial parts; retail-ready avoids parts classification
