Import Tips
• Verify rubber/plastics weight is under 10% via lab testing; exceedance shifts to 6404.19.90
• Provide detailed material breakdowns and photos showing open heels/no fasteners for smooth clearance
• Label as 'house slippers' to avoid reclassification as general footwear; common pitfall is insufficient weight documentation
