Import Tips
• Verify the footwear is explicitly designed for protection against listed elements (water, oil, etc.) with documentation like manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification
• Confirm outer sole and upper are predominantly rubber/plastics by surface area per Chapter Note 4; test reports may be required
• Label clearly as overshoes for men covering the ankle to distinguish from gaiters or non-footwear protectors
