Import Tips
• Verify the upper's external surface area is documented as over 90% rubber/plastics via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming no foxing band and non-stitched assembly to comply with subheading exclusions
• Include waterproof certification and material composition labels to prevent common pitfalls like undervaluation disputes
