Import Tips

• Verify the outer sole material covers the greatest ground contact area and is affixed only by adhesive; provide lab tests if challenged by CBP

• Label footwear clearly with country of origin, fiber content of textile upper, and value to confirm $3-$6.50/pair range during entry

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying shoes with any stitching or foxing, which shifts to other subheadings under 6404.11
