Import Tips
• Verify rubber/plastics weight is under 10% via lab testing; exceedance shifts to 6404.19.90
• Document textile upper composition and open-toe/slip-on features to avoid misclassification as closed footwear
• Ensure no foxing band on upper to prevent reclassification under excluded subheadings
