Import Tips
• Verify the upper is predominantly rubber/plastics visible to the naked eye and not assembled by stitching or riveting per Chapter Note 4
• Provide lab tests confirming waterproofing against water/oil/grease if claimed, to avoid reclassification
• Label clearly as protective overshoes; common pitfall is misclassifying as regular rubber footwear under 6401.92
