Import Tips
• Declare exact value per pair equivalent with commercial invoice; CBP scrutinizes 'over $12/pair' threshold closely
• Provide material breakdown showing textile as dominant external surface per Chapter Note 4(a) to avoid reclassification
• Avoid common pitfall of including sole attachments, as those shift to complete footwear under 6404
