Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify upper material is predominantly leather (headings 4107, 4112-4114) via lab testing to avoid reclassification

• Include detailed value documentation per pair; undervaluation leads to audits and penalties

• Label as 'house slippers' clearly; avoid outdoor features to prevent shifting to higher subheadings
