Import Tips
• Document fiber content of textile uppers accurately for CBP review, as uppers are determined by greatest external surface area
• Include invoices proving per-pair value ≤$2.50; bulk shipments often require pair-count verification to avoid reclassification
• Test for rubber/plastic weight percentage; exceeding limits shifts to higher-value subheadings or different headings
