Import Tips

Provide invoices showing per-pair value over $12; undervaluation leads to penalties or reclassification

Label fiber content accurately for textile uppers to comply with FTC and CBP requirements

Confirm not 'protective active footwear' per US note if claiming alternatives, avoiding erroneous duty shifts
