Import Tips
• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g
• jute, sisal) by surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if challenged
• Document value under $3/pair with invoices; common pitfall is misvaluation leading to reclassification to higher-duty subheadings
• Ensure textile in sole doesn't meet durability/strength for classification per US Note 5; retain sole material specs
