Import Tips
• Provide detailed value breakdown; CBP often audits high-end athletic footwear for transfer pricing issues
• Label footwear clearly as 'basketball shoes' to support 6402.99.90.05 classification over general categories
• Ensure no metal reinforcements that could trigger alternative sole material assessment under Note 4(b)
