Import Tips

• Measure sole-ground contact area to confirm rubber/plastics per Chapter Note 4(b), ignoring minor textile overlays

• Batch imports by value tiers to avoid mixing that could trigger reclassification of the entire shipment

• Include care labels specifying indoor use to support house slipper classification
