Import Tips

• Verify upper is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g

• jute) by surface area and document sole textile dominance per chapter note 4(b), excluding non-durable textiles

• Provide lab tests confirming adhesive-only affixation and no foxing/overlaps; common pitfall is misclassifying stitched constructions

• Ensure value declaration between $3-$6.50/pair with invoices; watch for undervaluation audits on budget sports shoes
