Even better is the shoes (like chucks) that have fuzzy soles to be classified as slippers.

Tariff law doesn't just look at the label on the box. Otherwise there would be bigger problems.
Or how about the seats in Ford's transit vans?

We had a scam in Poland decades ago, where companies could buy a station wagon with this metal grating between rear seats and the trunk [0], which was enough to classify the whole vehicle as a truck, which gave you tax breaks not available for passenger vehicles.

Wow, I had no idea! That is kinda clever and horrible at the same time.
I've never understood why that works. They clearly aren't slippers. They aren't sold as slippers. Nobody looks at them and says "nice slippers". Chuck Taylor importing their shoes as slippers feels fraudulent.
