Import Tips

• Document that the footwear is held without laces/buckles via photos and specs to confirm slip-on type

• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling unisex styles; specify women's fit in invoices and packing lists

• Check for any foxing elements that could shift classification; measure overlap precisely
