Import Tips

• Verify the weight percentage of rubber/plastics in soles is under 10% via lab testing to avoid reclassification to higher subheadings

• Provide detailed material composition certificates confirming vegetable fiber uppers (e.g

• bamboo) dominate external surface area

• Ensure men's sizing documentation; mislabeling as unisex or women could shift to other gender-specific codes
