Import Tips
• Include manufacturer specs confirming metal toe-cap protection and rubber/plastics material dominance
• Check for any leather reinforcements; if minimal, they don't change the primary material classification
• Document commercial invoice values precisely to stay within the $3-$6.50/pair subheading
