Import Tips

• Verify sole material surface area in contact with ground exceeds other materials and confirm textile durability per US note 5 to avoid reclassification

• Document adhesive-only affixation with manufacturing photos or specs; customs often inspects for hidden stitching or foxing

• Label value accurately under $6.50/pair; provide invoices proving retail pricing to prevent undervaluation penalties
