Import Tips
• Conduct material surface area tests for upper (textile >50% visible) and sole; retain lab reports for CBP review
• Avoid common error of mid-sole stitching—ensure all layers affixed only by adhesive as specified
• Label country of origin clearly; low-value items often scrutinized for undervaluation
