Import Tips

Verify the upper's external surface area is predominantly vegetable fibers like bamboo or sisal via lab testing to confirm classification

Document sole weight composition to prove rubber/plastics under 10%; common pitfall is miscalculating due to reinforcements

Label as women's footwear based on size/fit; provide heel height measurements if questioned by customs
