Import Tips
• Verify the value per pair falls strictly between $6.50 and $12 with commercial invoices to avoid reclassification to adjacent value bands
• Conduct material surface area tests for uppers and soles per Chapter Note 4 to confirm rubber/plastics dominance and prevent shifts to textile headings
• Label as 'gym shoes' accurately; misdescription as sports footwear could trigger scrutiny under subheading note 1
