Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly synthetic textile (>50% external surface) via lab tests; vegetable fibers like cotton shift to 6404.19.30

• Document sole composition showing textile has greatest ground contact area, excluding non-durable textiles per U.S. note 5; provide manufacturer specs

• Avoid misclassification as sports footwear (6402.99) by confirming no provisions for spikes/cleats; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
