Import Tips

Verify outer sole material via lab testing to confirm leather or composition leather covers over 50% surface area in ground contact

Provide detailed invoices showing value under $2.50/pair and weight breakdowns for rubber/plastics (under 50%, at least 10%)

Avoid misclassification pitfalls by documenting upper as textile-dominant (greatest external surface area)
