Import Tips
• Document coated/laminated textile providing water protection via supplier specs; US Note defines this for protective active footwear
• Measure shaft height precisely; common pitfall is including tongue in measurement, leading to reclassification
• Ensure no cold weather insulation; declare end-use as trail/outdoor active to support classification
