Import Tips

• Verify outer sole material is predominantly rubber/plastics by surface area in contact with ground (Chapter Note 4(b)); document with material specs

• Include invoices showing value ≤$3/pair; common pitfall is misvaluation leading to higher subheadings like 6404.11.90

• Label fiber content of textile upper accurately; ensure no leather >50% external surface to avoid Chapter 64 leather headings
