Import Tips
• Document jute reinforcement as non-dominant to confirm rubber as the outer sole material per chapter note 4(b)
• Conduct surface area measurements on uppers, ignoring accessories like ankle straps, to substantiate textile classification
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluation claims by providing tiered pricing proofs from manufacturers
