Import Tips
• Confirm no 'foxing-like band' via cross-section analysis; even thin overlaps disqualify from this subheading
• Document that boots are primary footwear, not 'worn over other footwear' to avoid protective exception
• Test rubber content certification; synthetic rubber qualifies as 'rubber' per Chapter Note 3
