Import Tips
• Verify outer sole and upper are predominantly rubber/plastics via visible external layer; document material tests
• Confirm valuation under $3/pair with invoices; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
• Label as 'not for sports use' to avoid reclassification under sports footwear subheadings
