Import Tips

• Verify outer sole textile surface area exceeds other materials per Chapter Note 4(b) and U.S

• Note 5; provide lab tests if challenged

• Ensure valuation documentation shows $6.50-$12/pair and confirm women's sizing for subheading accuracy

• Label fiber content of textile upper accurately to avoid misclassification under vegetable fiber exclusions
