Import Tips
• Verify upper material by external surface area (coated textile counts as plastics); provide lab tests if challenged
• Measure height from outer sole bottom to upper top precisely under 15.34 cm; document with photos/specs
• Avoid misclassification as waterproof molded bottoms by confirming no full molded upper integration
