Import Tips
• Conduct surface area tests per Chapter Note 4(a) to confirm textile as predominant material in uppers
• Avoid common pitfall of including soles in shipments, which would reclassify to complete footwear in Chapter 64
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'parts thereof' to differentiate from finished uppers in 6406.10.60
