Import Tips
• Verify footwear meets sports definition by documenting design for sporting activity and traction features like cleats or lugs
• Provide commercial invoice showing unit value clearly between $6.50-$12/pair to avoid reclassification to higher/lower value subheadings
• Conduct material testing for upper (greatest external surface) and sole (ground contact) to confirm rubber/plastics dominance
