Import Tips
• 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
