Import Tips
• Obtain supplier certifications for value brackets and material breakdowns; undervaluation is a top audit trigger
• Measure sole contact area excluding reinforcements (note 4(b)); textile must dominate for this subheading
• For bulk imports, use commercial invoices with HTS-specific line items to prevent misclassification
