Import Tips

• Verify sole affixation is exclusively adhesive with no stitching or foxing to avoid reclassification to other 6404 subheadings

• Document value under $3/pair per unit and provide lab tests confirming textile as greatest ground-contact material per US note 5

• Label fiber content accurately for textile uppers; common pitfall is misstating rubber vs textile sole dominance
