Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the external surface area of the textile upper exceeds other materials, excluding reinforcements like eyelets or tabs as per Chapter Note 4(a)
• Provide accurate invoice valuation to confirm $3-$6.50/pair range; undervaluation leads to CBP reclassification and penalties
• Label footwear clearly with materials and country of origin; common pitfall is misstating sole contact area ignoring minor accessories
