Import Tips
• Use photos and material specs to demonstrate open-heel design and no fasteners for subheading eligibility
• Conduct surface area measurements for uppers and soles as defined in chapter notes to prevent reclassification
• Beware undervaluation pitfalls; accurate pair pricing prevents shifts to lower-value subheadings
