Import Tips
• Document adhesive-only construction with photos or manufacturer specs to prevent disputes during CBP examination
• Ensure commercial invoice specifies exact value per pair and 'men's' designation to match subheading
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling women's sizes as men's, which could reclassify to 6404.19.69.60
