Import Tips
• Verify the external surface area of the upper is predominantly textile (>50%) via lab testing to avoid reclassification to leather uppers
• Include detailed value documentation like invoices showing per-pair pricing under $6.50 to qualify for this subheading
• Label footwear clearly with country of origin and material composition to prevent CBP holds at entry
