Import Tips
• Verify textile upper covers greatest external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); measure excluding reinforcements
• Provide detailed valuation documentation as 'not over $3/pair' determines subheading; invoices must specify unit price
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC fiber content rules for textile uppers to avoid CBP holds
