Import Tips & Compliance
• Label footwear clearly as 'men's' with size charts; CBP may reclassify based on sizing conventions if ambiguous
• Document sports end-use with manufacturer specs; pitfall is generic athletic shoes being downclassified to casual wear
• Ensure no metal reinforcements count toward material area per Chapter Note 4(a); measure external surface accurately
