Import Tips

Verify the upper's external surface area is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g

straw, raffia) per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if contested

Ensure labeling specifies 'men's' sizing and fiber content; common pitfall is misclassifying as women's if unisex

Document country of origin for vegetable fibers, as they must be natural plant-based, not synthetic mimics
