Import Tips
• Provide molding process affidavits; CBP often scrutinizes flip-flops for one-piece vs. glued construction
• Label country of origin clearly on each pair; Brazil-origin common but ensure no transshipment issues
• Measure external surface precisely—straps must not introduce non-plastics exceeding 10%
