Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify sole material surface area in contact with ground is predominantly textile per Chapter Note 4(b); document lab tests if challenged
• Provide value declarations and adhesive-only construction proof to avoid reclassification to foxed footwear subheadings
• Label fiber content accurately as non-vegetable textiles; common pitfall is misstating value leading to wrong duty bracket
