Import Tips

Verify upper material is predominantly textile (greatest external surface area) via lab testing to avoid reclassification to leather uppers

Provide detailed value documentation like invoices showing ≤$3/pair to qualify for this low-duty subheading; undervaluation risks penalties

Ensure no sports features (e.g

cleat provisions) per subheading note to prevent shift to higher-duty sports footwear codes
