Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify outer sole material surface area per Chapter Note 4(b); document textile coverage exceeding rubber/plastics for classification
• Provide lab tests confirming adhesive-only affixation (no stitching/sewing) and value under $6.50/pair to avoid higher subheadings
• Label fiber content accurately (non-vegetable textile upper) and ensure no foxing band to prevent reclassification to excluded categories
