Import Tips

Verify the external surface area of the textile upper exceeds other materials per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if contested

Confirm valuation between $6.50-$12/pair with invoices; overvaluation risks higher duty brackets

Label as men's footwear based on size/design (EU 40+ typically); avoid misclassification as unisex
