Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify upper material is synthetic textile (not vegetable fibers like cotton) via lab tests; document fiber content for CBP review
• Measure sole contact area precisely; ensure textile portion qualifies as durable per U.S
• Note 5 to avoid reclassification
• Label clearly as slip-on without fasteners; common pitfall is misstating foxing presence leading to 6404.19.20 errors
