Import Tips
• Label fiber content accurately as vegetable (e.g
• sisal) and measure external surface area for upper classification per note 4(a)
• Provide lab tests confirming textile sole lacks 'durability and strength' for normal use to apply US note 5 exclusion
• Ensure invoices clearly state value ≤$3/pair and adhesive-only construction to avoid reclassification
