Import Tips
• Conduct material composition analysis to confirm non-vegetable textile uppers and qualifying sole; declare accurately
• Use HTS-specific invoices noting value bracket and gender; common error is overvaluing into higher duty tiers
• Ensure no leather/plastic reinforcements dominate upper surface per Chapter note 4(a)
