Import Tips
• Verify wool felt composition via lab tests to confirm it meets Chapter 64 notes on textile materials for uppers and soles
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'for women' sizing and felt content to avoid reclassification to men's or unisex codes
• Check for any non-felt reinforcements that could alter outer sole material determination under note 4(b)
