Import Tips

Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile (e.g

jute) has greatest ground contact, excluding non-durable materials per U.S. note 5

Provide detailed upper material breakdown (must be predominantly textile by surface area) and photos showing open heel/slip-on design

Avoid misclassification as closed footwear; common pitfall is overlooking foxing band exclusions
