Import Tips
• Label fiber content accurately (e.g
• 100% jute upper) to comply with textile import rules and support classification
• Avoid common pitfall of mismeasuring sole area; use diagrams showing textile dominance over any minor rubber inserts
• For bulk shipments, segregate by value to prevent averaging that could push pairs over $6.50 threshold
