Import Tips
• Use photos and material specs in entry docs to prove canvas textile upper exceeds other materials in surface area
• Classify based on actual import value per pair, not retail, and retain cost breakdowns for audits
• Check for waterproof coatings; if laminated textiles provide water protection and value >$24, consider protective active shift
