Import Tips

• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest ground contact area but lacks US note 5 durability

• Label fiber content accurately on uppers (e.g

• 100% cotton) and provide value documentation to prove $3-$6.50 range

• Avoid misclassification as cheaper footwear under 6404.19.30 by ensuring proper valuation and material specs
