Import Tips
• Document the footwear's retail value with purchase orders; customs may inspect for undervaluation in low-price subheadings
• Ensure upper material is predominantly textile by surface area measurement per Chapter Note 4(a), excluding reinforcements
• Avoid common pitfalls by not including laces or insoles in valuation, as they may classify separately under other headings
