Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct surface area measurements on 10+ pairs to confirm textile >50% ground contact, excluding reinforcements
• Include commercial invoices proving per-pair value and adhesive-only assembly to Customs for binding ruling if challenged
• Avoid common pitfall of mid-sole misclassification; ensure all layers affixed solely by adhesive per subheading criteria
