Import Tips
• Verify the upper's external surface area is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g
• jute, sisal) per Chapter Note 4(a); document fiber origin
• Provide lab tests confirming vegetable fiber composition to avoid reclassification to synthetic textile uppers
• Label country of origin clearly, as natural fiber content affects duty and may trigger additional textile visa requirements
