Import Tips
• Include knit construction details but confirm it's woven/knitted textile upper under Chapter 64, not shifting to Chapter 61
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluation; use commercial invoices matching retail value for accurate duty assessment
• Ensure no cleats or spikes, as that would invoke sports footwear definitions
