Import Tips

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

• Provide detailed value documentation as these are specifically for items under $3/pair; invoices must reflect factory export price

• Ensure textile upper material dominates external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a) for accurate classification
