Import Tips
• Photograph sole construction showing adhesive-only bonds and no upper overlap at toe/heel except permitted areas
• Declare exact value per pair; undervaluation risks penalties—use factory cost sheets as backup
• Test textile sole for non-durability (e.g
• wears quickly) to justify exclusion under US note 5
