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
