Import Tips & Compliance

Verify outer sole material is rubber or plastics via lab testing, as it must have the greatest ground contact area per Chapter Note 4(b)

Document valuation proof (invoices, cost sheets) to confirm $3-$6.50/pair range; undervaluation leads to penalties

Label clearly as women's footwear and confirm textile uppers exceed other materials in external surface area
