Import Tips
• Document PVC as 'plastics' per Chapter Note 3(a), including visible layers; inspect for textile reinforcements that could alter classification
• Avoid undervaluation pitfalls—appraisals must support >$12/pair claim with invoices and cost breakdowns
• Label clearly as women's footwear; mixed sizing shipments require segregation to match subheading
