Import Tips

• Verify the protective metal toe-cap meets ASTM F2413 standards and provide certification documentation to Customs

• Measure value per pair excluding inner sole or packaging to confirm over $12 threshold; common pitfall is miscalculating unit value

• Label fiber content if any textile in upper exceeds 5% and ensure country of origin marking on visible surfaces
