Import Tips

• Verify total value per pair does not exceed $3, including all components, to avoid reclassification to higher-value subheadings

• Document material composition with lab tests confirming plastics as dominant upper and sole materials per Chapter Notes 4(a) and 4(b)

• Label footwear clearly as 'for women' and ensure sizing aligns with women's standards to match subheading specificity
