Import Tips

• Verify sole affixation is exclusively adhesive with no foxing or overlap; provide lab tests if questioned by CBP

• Document value under $3/pair per statistical unit and confirm textile sole material lacks durability per US note 5

• Label fiber content accurately (e.g

• 100% polyester upper) and ensure 'house slippers' designation for retail packaging
