Import Tips
• Provide fiber content labels certifying vegetable fibers like hemp exceed other materials in upper surface area
• Include sole cross-sections or specs proving textile (not rubber/plastics) has max ground contact area
• Check for 'foxing-like' bands; even partial rubber overlaps disqualify from this subheading
