Import Tips
• Label uppers clearly as vegetable fibers; customs may require fiber content disclosure under textile rules
• Avoid bundling accessories that could alter valuation; import as finished pairs only
• Test sole for non-qualifying textile under U.S. note 5 to confirm 6404.11.71 over 6404.11.20
