Import Tips

• 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
