Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds 50% via lab tests for accurate classification under wool felt subheading
• Include detailed material breakdown in invoices to avoid misclassification as general textile uppers (6405.20.90)
• Ensure no rubber reinforcements on soles, as they could shift to rubber/plastics soles under 6404
