Import Tips

• Verify the value per pair falls strictly between $6.50 and $12 with commercial invoices; undervaluation leads to reclassification or penalties

• Provide lab tests confirming outer sole is predominantly rubber/plastics (greatest ground contact area) and upper is textile by surface area

• Label clearly as 'men's' footwear (size US 6+ or equivalent) and include country of origin markings visible on the tongue or upper
