Import Tips

• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest surface area in ground contact, excluding non-durable textiles per US Note 5

• Provide detailed invoices showing value under $3/pair and declare as 'house slippers' to avoid reclassification as general footwear

• Label fiber content accurately (e.g

• 100% polyester upper) per FTC rules; common pitfall is misstating sole materials leading to audits
