Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly rubber/plastics via visible external layer; test for coated textile to confirm protective status

• Measure height from outer sole bottom to top of upper precisely to ensure under 15.34 cm; document with photos and specs

• Avoid misclassification as sports footwear by confirming no provisions for spikes or cleats; provide activity-specific use evidence
