Import Tips
• Source vegetable fiber certificates from suppliers to prove jute/sisal/abaca content for CBP audits
• Test sole textile durability to confirm it doesn't qualify as 'normal use' material under U.S
• Note 5
• Package as individual pairs for retail; bulk may risk set classification issues
