Import Tips
• Document construction method showing no stitching/riveting; photos or diagrams help CBP verification
• Ensure 'designed to be worn over other footwear' is evident in product specs to distinguish from regular boots
• Avoid common error of undervaluing; these often incur higher scrutiny for workwear protection claims
