Import Tips
• Verify the external surface area is predominantly textile per Chapter Note 4(a) to avoid reclassification as leather uppers
• Provide detailed value documentation and material composition certificates to confirm the $3-$6.50/pair threshold
• Ensure uppers are 'formed' (stitched and shaped) but not attached to outer soles to prevent classification under complete footwear headings
