Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g

• cotton, jute) by surface area; provide lab tests if challenged

• Document sole composition to prove textile has greatest ground contact per Note 4(b) and U.S

• Note 5 exclusion

• Ensure value declaration under $3/pair with invoices; watch for reclassification if adhesive bonding or foxing is misidentified
