Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for sole per Chapter Note 4(b); retain engineer reports for audits
• Specify 'house slippers' on commercial invoices; vague descriptions risk reclass to general footwear
• Watch for value creep from add-ons like packaging; ensure declared value fits $3-$6.50 bracket
