Import Tips
• Verify upper material is predominantly textile (greatest external surface area) via lab testing to avoid reclassification to leather uppers
• Include detailed value documentation and invoices showing per-pair price under $12 to qualify for this subheading
• Ensure no spikes or cleats are present, as that would shift to sports footwear under subheading note
