Import Tips

• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile material has greatest ground-contact area, excluding non-durable textiles per US note 5

• Provide detailed value documentation and invoices showing per-pair price over $3 but not exceeding $6.50 to avoid reclassification

• Ensure uppers are predominantly synthetic textiles (e.g

• nylon/polyester >50% external surface) excluding vegetable fibers like cotton
