Import Tips
• Provide evidence that the cushion is designed for footwear use, not general padding, to prevent reclassification
• Ensure labeling complies with textile fiber content rules under FTC guidelines for U.S. entry
• Avoid bundling with complete shoes, as sets may alter classification to finished footwear headings
