Import Tips

• Verify upper is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute by surface area (note 4(a)) and sole textile coverage excluding non-durable materials (U.S. note 5)

• Document adhesive-only bonding process and value certification to avoid misclassification into foxing-band subheadings

• Label clearly as women's footwear and test sole durability to confirm textile materials qualify for ground-contact dominance
