Import Tips

• Note that the value-based subheadings from the US schedule do not apply in Canada; classification is based solely on the metal toe-cap feature

• Provide clear evidence of the steel toe-cap in product photos or technical specifications

• Ensure the sneakers are not sports footwear per Subheading Note 1, which would affect classification
