Import Tips

• Verify upper is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g

• jute, sisal) by surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); document fiber origin certificates

• Confirm outer sole textile has durability/strength for normal use per U.S

• Note 5 to avoid reclassification; provide lab tests if challenged

• Label clearly as women's footwear and ensure value declaration under $3/pair with commercial invoices to prevent duty upgrades
