Import Tips
• Source certificates proving vegetable fiber origin (e.g
• abaca) and calculate upper surface area dominance
• Photograph soles to demonstrate textile ground contact while qualifying US note 5 non-durability
• Watch for heel/toe overlap only; any side overlap risks exclusion to broader 6404.11 categories
