Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify upper material is over 50% textile by visible surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); document with material specs

• Provide value declaration per pair; common pitfall is misvaluing sets or bulk shipments

• Ensure no sports features like cleats to avoid reclassification; include lab tests for sole durability
