Import Tips & Compliance
• Document raffia as vegetable fiber (not synthetic imitation) with supplier specs and origin certificates
• Weigh components pre-assembly to confirm <10% rubber/plastics; common error is underestimating adhesive content
• Label as 'textile upper' accurately; avoid retail packaging that suggests set classification under 6405
