Import Tips
• Document pair valuation precisely, as bulk shipments may trigger average value calculations by CBP
• Ensure no sports features like spike provisions to avoid misclassification under sports footwear notes
• Use proper HTS declaration; common pitfall is confusing with textile uppers leading to 6404 reclassification
