Import Tips

• Verify the upper's external surface area is predominantly vegetable fibers like bamboo per Chapter Note 4(a), documenting fiber content with lab tests

• Confirm outer sole textile coverage exceeds other materials in ground contact, excluding non-durable textiles per U.S

• Note 5; retain sole blueprints

• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no foxing band overlaps the upper, as this shifts classification to other subheadings
