Import Tips & Compliance

Verify upper's external surface area is >50% vegetable fibers (e.g

jute, hemp) via lab testing; document fiber content labels

Confirm outer sole's textile area in ground contact but note U.S. note 5 exclusion; avoid soles with durable rubber/plastic dominance

Ensure valuation < $3/pair with invoices; watch for undervaluation audits on bulk cheap imports
