Import Tips
• Verify sole attachment is exclusively adhesive with no stitching or foxing to confirm 6404.19.69 classification; document manufacturing process
• Label fiber content of textile upper accurately per FTC rules; common pitfall is misdeclaring value exceeding $6.50/pair
• Obtain lab tests confirming rubber/plastics sole material per Chapter Note 4(b) for customs audits
