Import Tips

• Verify upper material exceeds 90% rubber/plastics via external surface area measurement, excluding reinforcements as per Chapter Note 4(a)

• Document cork base composition and women's sizing (typically US 5-10) to avoid misclassification as men's or universal footwear

• Ensure no foxing band overlaps upper; common pitfall leading to reclassification under 6402.99.31
