Import Tips
• Verify upper material is textile-dominant (greatest external surface area) via lab testing to avoid reclassification to leather uppers
• Include detailed value documentation per pair; undervaluation leads to audits and penalties
• Label footwear clearly as 'women's' with size charts matching US standards to confirm gender-specific subheading
