During our recent webinar with the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA), "Connecting Voice-of-Customer Data and AI for Tailored Footwear Success," we had the chance to poll 50 footwear executives. One question that stood out was: "How do you currently identify customer needs and market trends?" The responses made it clear—there’s a real need for retailers to tap into AI-driven VoC data. This can completely reshape how brands approach everything from footwear design to aligning with market demands and trends. If you're considering how these innovations could be applied to your brand, we’d love to offer you a personalized consultation. 💻 Let's Talk: https://bit.ly/4efLvSl #Footwear #VoC #ConsumerBehavior #MarketTrends #PredictiveAnalytics

What do you think about items in the below? Are they identical? Or do you see the difference between them.   Well, there is a slight difference in the heel of each item. Footwear 1) has a covered heel while 2) does not. How would you classify them? Same or different HS code?     Most people would argue they both should be classified into the same HS code. Surprisingly, they are not. This is a recent ruling from KCS, where 1) was classified into HS code 6401.99-9000 (8%) and 2) into HS code 6402.99-9000(13%).   For more information, please refer to the content below. #Tradewin #HSclassification #Customscompliance #Customs #Plasticfootwear #footwear #Waterproof
