Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify upper material via external surface area test (note 4(a)); document coating visibility with photos to confirm plastics classification
• Provide value invoices showing $6.50-$12/pair range; undervaluation leads to audits
• Label clearly as 'men's' footwear; misgender classification risks reclassification to women's codes
