Import Tips
• Verify the upper is predominantly textile by surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if contested by Customs
• Document retail value exceeding $12/pair with invoices; undervaluation leads to penalties
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC fiber content rules for textile materials to avoid entry refusals
