Import Tips
• Provide invoices and photos proving house slipper design (no treads for outdoor use) to avoid misclassification as casual footwear
• Test and document outer sole materials to confirm rubber/plastics have greatest contact area, ignoring non-durable textiles
• Check fiber content; vegetable fibers like cotton would shift to other subheadings within 6404.19
