Import Tips

• Verify upper is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g

• jute) by external surface area per Note 4(a); provide lab tests if disputed

• Document sole composition showing textile has greatest ground contact (ignore non-durable textiles per US Note 5); avoid common misclassification as 6404.11.80

• Include value declarations and country-of-origin certificates; watch for undervaluation pitfalls in sports footwear
