Import Tips
• Document indoor-only design (no treads for outdoors) to support 'house slippers' claim and prevent shifts to general footwear
• Conduct surface area measurements for uppers and soles per Chapter Notes; retain photos/test reports for CBP review
• Avoid bundling with outdoor slippers in shipments to prevent average value exceeding $3/pair threshold
