Import Tips

• Verify upper is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g

• jute, ramie) by surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if challenged

• Document pair valuation precisely between $3-$6.50; include invoices showing ex-factory prices to avoid reclassification to higher value subheadings

• Confirm textile sole material has greatest ground contact but lacks U.S. note 5 durability to prevent misclassification under 6404.11.20
