Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'dance leg warmers' with textile composition to align with HTS description and prevent reclassification
• Provide photos or samples showing pull-on style without soles to distinguish from complete footwear
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests hosiery; retail packs support footwear accessory status
