Import Tips
• Certify bamboo as vegetable fiber via fiber content analysis; mislabeling as synthetic risks reclassification
• Photographically prove sole composition showing textile dominance in ground contact, ignoring reinforcements
• Specify women's fit in invoices; mixed shipments may require separate entries by gender
