Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify upper material composition via lab testing to confirm over 90% rubber/plastics external surface area, excluding reinforcements per Chapter Note 4(a)
• Provide detailed technical specs and photos showing no foxing band overlapping the upper to avoid reclassification
• Ensure labeling includes men's sizing and sports use; common pitfall is misdeclaring as casual footwear
