Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for uppers (vegetable fibers >50%) and soles (textile max contact, non-durable proof)
• Avoid pitfalls by excluding any stitching or mechanical foxing in manufacturing; adhesive exclusivity must be certified
• Declare as men's only; size charts confirming adult male sizing prevent women's code errors
