Import Tips
• Label uppers clearly as textile and retain supplier material breakdowns to prove greatest external surface area
• Confirm 'sports footwear' design via prototypes; gym/training intent supports classification over casual
• Watch for set sales with socks, which may classify as 6406 parts if separated
