Import Tips
• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile material has greatest ground contact per Chapter Note 4(b), excluding non-durable textiles under US Note 5
• Provide detailed value documentation and invoices showing unit price $6.50-$12/pair; common pitfall is misvaluation leading to reclassification
• Label uppers clearly as non-vegetable textile (e.g
• nylon/polyester) to avoid disputes under subheading requirements
