Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute or sisal via lab tests, as customs measures external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a)

• Document sole composition showing textile has greatest ground contact but lacks durability/strength per U.S

• Note 5 to justify disregarded status

• Include value declarations and avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as synthetic uppers, which shifts to 6404.19.80
