Import Tips

• Verify the external surface area of the upper is predominantly plastic-coated textile per Chapter Note 4(a); measure visible coating ignoring reinforcements

• Document value exceeding $12/pair with invoices; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to reclassification to lower-value subheadings

• Label fiber content accurately if textile is visible; ensure outer sole rubber contact area with ground is dominant per Note 4(b)
