Import Tips
• Include chemical resistance certification (e.g
• EN 14605 standards) in documentation to substantiate protective claims
• Measure sole-ground contact area to ensure plastics qualify as predominant per US Note on outer sole materials
• Label clearly as 'work footwear' and avoid retail packaging that suggests casual use to prevent reclassification
