Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements on soles per chapter note 4(b); photograph treads to demonstrate textile dominance
• Classify based on marketed women's sizing (e.g
• US 5-10); avoid unisex labeling pitfalls
• Include commercial invoices showing per-pair valuation under $12 to prevent duty escalation
