Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements for uppers (textile >50% external) and soles per Chapter Notes 4(a)/(b) for CBP audits
• Use HTS description 'house slippers' on entries; generic 'slippers' may trigger scrutiny
• Avoid reinforcements that could alter material dominance, like excessive leather patches
