Import Tips
• Verify upper material is predominantly textile by surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if blends exceed 50% non-textile
• Ensure no foxing or foxing-like band of rubber/plastics overlapping upper to avoid reclassification to other subheadings
• Label as 'house slippers' with fiber content; common pitfall is misdeclaring as outdoor footwear leading to audits
