Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for uppers per Chapter Note 4(a), ignoring minor trims; retain photos and diagrams
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring value—use FPV or transaction value proof for sub-$3 classification
• Ensure no rubber/plastics exceed sole ground contact to stay in this specific subheading
