Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute or sisal via lab testing; document fiber content for CBP review

• Measure sole contact area precisely—textile must exceed other materials per U.S. note 5 exclusion—to avoid reclassification

• Include value declarations and packing lists showing per-pair pricing under $12 to qualify for this subheading
