Import Tips

• Verify infant sizing per statistical note 2 (typically under 24 months or small foot length) with size labels and test reports to avoid reclassification

• Measure external surface area of upper precisely; document >90% rubber/plastics with photos and material specs to comply with Chapter Note 4(a)

• Avoid foxing-like bands overlapping the sole; common pitfall is misclassifying as 6401 if foxing present
