Import Tips
• Confirm sole textile durability meets U.S
• Note 5 standards; provide wear-test data if challenged by customs
• Avoid vegetable fiber blends in uppers (>50% shifts to other subheadings); include mill certificates
• Declare as 'slip-on' accurately; pitfall is classifying as sandals if minimal straps present
