Import Tips

Include detailed photos and specs showing canvas textile dominance on upper; reinforcements like overlays must not exceed surface area

Pair with commercial invoices stamped by manufacturer confirming value; discrepancies lead to CBP penalties

Label correctly as 'sports footwear' to match subheading; casual styling pitfalls cause shifts to higher-duty 6404.19
