Import Tips
• Confirm not 'sports footwear' per subheading note (no spikes/cleats); declare as casual to avoid 6402/6403
• Value declaration critical—use FOB invoices; over $6.50 triggers higher subheading duties
• Test for 'naked eye' plastics layer on textiles per chapter note 3 to affirm textile classification
