Import Tips
• Measure outer sole surface area precisely; document that textile exceeds other materials in ground contact to avoid reclassification to rubber/plastic sole subheadings
• Provide detailed material breakdowns and value invoices showing $6.50-$12/pair range; undervaluation leads to audits
• Label fiber content accurately per FTC rules; synthetic uppers must specify non-vegetable fibers like polyester
