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
