Import Tips
• Provide lab tests confirming no visible rubber layer on textile per Chapter Note 3(a) for upper classification
• Track country-of-origin marking; textile uppers require accurate fiber content disclosure
• Watch for undervaluation audits—substantiate pair values with factory cost sheets
