Import Tips
• Document compliance with OSHA 1910.136 for foot protection to support classification and avoid penalties
• Check for visible plastic layer on any textile uppers per Chapter Note 2(a) to confirm rubber/plastics heading
• Pair value must exclude cartons; undervalued shipments often result in CBP assessments
