Import Tips
• Include lab certifications or material specs proving PVC resistance to chemicals/oils to support protective classification
• Label clearly as 'women's overshoes' with heel/toe measurements matching US women's sizes for subheading accuracy
• Watch for reclassification if sold without protective intent; pair with SDS sheets for chemical resistance claims
