Import Tips
• Include invoices proving pair value ≤$3 and adhesive-only construction to avoid reclassification
• Test outer sole for textile area dominance and lack of strength/durability to meet US note 5 exclusion
• Avoid any heel/toe overlap beyond permitted; use photos in entry docs for CBP review
