Import Tips

• Verify the external surface area of the upper is predominantly textile (over 50%) excluding reinforcements, using photos or samples for CBP review

• Document appraised value per pair with invoices showing $6.50-$12 range to avoid reclassification to higher/lower value subheadings

• Label footwear clearly with country of origin, material composition, and women's sizing to meet U.S. labeling requirements and prevent delays
