Import Tips
• Verify the external surface area is predominantly man-made fibers (>50%) via lab testing to confirm classification under 6406.10.90.40
• Provide detailed assembly diagrams showing separation from outer sole to avoid misclassification as complete footwear
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'footwear uppers, not attached to soles' to prevent common valuation disputes
