Import Tips & Compliance

• Prove non-retail intent with bulk shipping manifests and buyer contracts for footwear manufacturers

• Measure external surface area carefully; minimal leather accents don't change cotton dominance

• Exclude eyelets/hooks in material calc; Chapter Note 2 classifies them separately
