Import Tips
• Conduct surface area analysis per Chapter Note 4(a) to confirm vegetable fibers form greatest external upper area
• Label clearly as 'men's' with size charts; customs may scrutinize gender designation for tariff purposes
• Avoid common pitfall of sole weight miscalculation—test multiple samples for accurate <10% certification
