Import Tips
• Document jute/rope sole composition with supplier certifications to prove <10% rubber/plastics compliance
• Label clearly as 'textile upper, composition leather sole' to prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Watch for added rubber reinforcements that could push over 10% threshold and shift to 6402.99
