Import Tips

• Verify outer sole material composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest ground contact, excluding non-durable textiles per U.S

• Note 5

• Provide detailed photos and construction specs in entry docs to prove adhesive-only affixation and no foxing/overlap

• Avoid misdeclaration as higher-value items; include invoices showing value under $3/pair to prevent duty upgrades
