Import Tips
• Not sports footwear unless with spikes/cleats (subheading note); emphasize casual use in invoices to avoid 6402.12 misclassification
• Provide surface area calculations and material breakdowns; CBP often audits high rubber content claims
• Ensure no 'protective against water/oil' marketing if it risks overshoe exception exclusion
