Import Tips
• Document synthetic upper percentage with photos showing external surface visibility to naked eye
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 'protective active footwear' without water-resistant textile lamination proof
• Label gender-specific clearly as 'for women' to match subheading requirements
