Import Tips
• Verify adhesive-only attachment of sole to upper and midsole (if present) via lab testing or manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification
• Document value per pair accurately with invoices; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
• Label fiber content of textile upper per FTC rules and provide HTS justification excluding foxing
