Import Tips

Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest ground contact area, as U.S. note 5 excludes non-durable textiles

Provide detailed value documentation and invoices showing price per pair falls within $6.50-$12 range to avoid reclassification

Label footwear clearly with material content, country of origin, and men's sizing to meet CBP entry requirements and prevent delays
