Import Tips
• Classify straps as 'upper' if they cover most external surface; minimal designs still qualify under note 4(a)
• Avoid plastic-dominant straps that could reclassify to 6402.99 series for plastics uppers
• Declare exact pair counts and values; high-volume shipments need strong undervaluation proof
