Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify cotton content exceeds 50% by weight and document fiber analysis to confirm classification under cotton subheading
• Provide assembly diagrams showing the upper is not attached to an outer sole to distinguish from finished footwear in Chapter 64 headings
• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying with reinforcements; per Chapter Note 4, ignore accessories for material determination
