Import Tips
• Conduct surface area analysis per Chapter Note 4(a) to confirm textile as predominant material; document with photos if reinforcements are minor
• Include assembly instructions or diagrams showing upper-only status to distinguish from complete shoes during customs inspection
• Watch for common pitfall of incomplete value declarations; use commercial invoice with clear per-pair pricing based on production records
