Import Tips

Label uppers clearly as synthetic (e.g

polyester fleece) to confirm non-vegetable fiber status and avoid vegetable fiber subheadings

Document commercial invoice values precisely within $3-$6.50 range; undervaluation risks penalties

Ensure soles meet 'textile greatest surface but not durable' criteria with photos/specs to prevent misclassification as 6404.19.70
