Import Tips
• Conduct surface area analysis of uppers to confirm vegetable fibers dominate per note 4(a); retain photos/measurements
• Declare accurately to prevent shifts to higher-duty categories; common error is overlooking open-toe classification
• Check for any reinforcements that might alter material dominance assessment
