Import Tips
• Verify value per pair is under $3 with detailed invoices to avoid reclassification to higher-value subheadings
• Label fiber content of textile uppers accurately per FTC rules; include country of origin markings on visible parts
• Avoid common pitfalls like misstating sole material—ensure rubber/plastics contact ground per Chapter Note 4(b)
