Import Tips
• Document jute sourcing and weaving process to prove vegetable fiber composition
• Ensure invoices note 'women's footwear' with heel height/style details distinguishing from men's
• Avoid pitfall of color changes from treatments; Chapter Note 3(a) ignores color for rubber/plastics visibility
