Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g

• jute, hemp) via lab tests, as per chapter note 4(a) measuring external surface area

• Document sole composition to confirm textile has greatest ground contact, excluding non-durable textiles per U.S. note 5

• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no rubber/plastic foxing band overlapping the upper, a common pitfall for higher-duty subheadings
