Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest ground contact area, excluding non-durable textiles per U.S. note 5
• Include detailed material breakdowns and value declarations on commercial invoices to avoid reclassification during CBP examination
• Ensure footwear is marked 'women's' based on size and design; misgendering leads to common reclassification pitfalls
