Import Tips

• Verify upper is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute or sisal by surface area per chapter note 4(a); provide lab tests if challenged

• Document outer sole composition showing textile has greatest ground contact but meets durability for non-disregard under U.S. note 5

• Ensure valuation proof between $6.50-$12/pair; common pitfall is misclassifying as cheaper subheading 6404.11.80
