Import Tips

• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest ground contact but lacks durability per U.S. note 5

• Provide detailed invoices showing value under $3/pair and fiber content labels for uppers excluding vegetable fibers

• Avoid misclassification as sports footwear by ensuring no provisions for spikes or cleats as per subheading note
