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
