Import Tips
• Provide fiber content labels and supplier affidavits confirming vegetable fibers >50% external upper area
• Measure sole ground-contact precisely; textile must exceed rubber per naked-eye test without US Note 5 exclusions
• Avoid pitfalls by distinguishing from women's versions; gender-specific classification requires marketing evidence
