Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements on soles to document textile dominance without US note 5 protections
• Include commercial invoices showing per-pair value to stay within the $3-$6.50 bracket
• Watch for reclassification if textile sole fails durability tests, potentially shifting to 6404.19.70
