Import Tips
• Measure upper surface area accurately; jute rope soles don't change textile classification if ground contact is minimal
• Provide care labels specifying textile cleaning methods to comply with 19 CFR labeling requirements
• Watch for seasonal quotas on textile footwear; declare value per pair correctly to avoid undervaluation penalties
