Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute or sisal via lab testing to confirm greatest external surface area as per chapter note 4(a)

• Document sole construction showing textile has greatest ground contact but excluded under U.S. note 5; include value proof under $6.50/pair

• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no spikes/cleats, as that shifts to other sports subheadings; label accurately for CBP inspection
