Import Tips
• Verify outer sole material by surface area in contact with ground per Chapter Note 4(b); plastics must dominate
• Include detailed value documentation showing under $3/pair to avoid reclassification to higher-value subheadings
• Label as 'house slippers' clearly; avoid sports or outdoor claims to prevent shifts to 6402.99.90 or sports footwear notes
