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
