Import Tips
• Test sole textiles for durability characteristics to document why not counted under U.S. note 5 during CBP review
• Ship in consumer packaging with size/age labeling to qualify as finished footwear, not parts
• Avoid bulk packaging that could imply industrial/parts use under heading 6406
