Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute or sisal via lab testing, as customs measures external surface area

• Document sole composition showing textile has greatest ground contact (per US note 5) to avoid reclassification to non-textile sole subheadings

• Include value declarations and country-of-origin certificates, watching for undervaluation pitfalls in low-price footwear
