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
