Import Tips & Compliance

• Document jute as vegetable fiber via supplier certs; pitfall is confusing with synthetic textiles—use surface area tests

• Avoid foxing-like bands; photo uppers/sole junctions for proof against reclassification

• Declare as indoor-only to prevent shifting to protective footwear subheadings
