Import Tips
• Provide fiber content labels confirming vegetable fibers exceed 50% external upper surface per Chapter Note 4
• Conduct sole surface area measurements to prove textile dominance while qualifying for U.S
• Note 5 exclusion
• Watch for reclassification if sold as sets with matching bags, potentially under 6406 for parts
