Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g
• straw, jute) via lab tests; document fiber content to avoid reclassification
• Measure sole surface area precisely—textile must have greatest contact with ground, excluding non-durable textiles per U.S. note 5
• Include value declarations under $3/pair; watch for undervaluation audits common in low-value footwear
