Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute or sisal via lab testing to confirm classification

• Document sole composition showing textile surface area exceeds other materials, excluding non-durable textiles per U.S. note 5

• Avoid misdeclaration of value; provide invoices proving $3-$6.50/pair range to prevent reclassification to higher duty subheadings
