Import Tips

• Verify upper is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute or sisal by surface area, excluding reinforcements per chapter note 4(a)

• Document sole material composition to confirm textile has greatest ground contact but lacks durability/strength per US note 5

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying foxing bands, which exclude from this subheading; provide value proofs under $3/pair
