Import Tips

• Verify textile upper has greatest external surface area (Chapter Note 4(a)); provide lab tests if reinforcements obscure this

• Document valuation precisely within $6.50-$12/pair range with invoices; overvaluation risks reclassification to higher duty subheadings

• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as non-sports; confirm design intent via marketing materials to prevent audits
