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
