Import Tips

Verify upper material surface area exceeds other materials (e.g

leather <50%) using Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if disputed

Document exact per-pair value with invoices; common pitfall is misvaluing sets or promotional bundles exceeding $6.50 threshold

Ensure no spikes/cleats to avoid sports footwear reclassification; label as 'training shoes' for customs clarity
