Import Tips

• 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
