Import Tips

• Verify valuation documentation shows $6.50-$12/pair to avoid reclassification to higher/lower value subheadings

• Conduct material surface area tests per chapter note 4 to confirm textile upper dominance and sole composition, retaining lab reports for CBP review

• Label clearly as 'house slippers' and ensure no outdoor/sports features to prevent shifts to 6404.19 other categories
