Import Tips
• Document fiber origin with certificates; jute must be verified as vegetable fiber to avoid 6404 misclassification
• Avoid bulk packaging claims; retail-ready items stay in 6405, but parts/sets may go to 6406
• Check sole durability; if textile sole lacks strength (US Note), rubber dominant sole keeps classification intact
