Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements of upper materials, ignoring reinforcements as per chapter note 4(a), to substantiate textile classification
• Provide footwear size charts proving women's fit to prevent shifts to men's or unisex categories
• Avoid undervaluation on invoices; CBP audits often target low-value claims in this subheading
