Import Tips
• Verify the upper and sole are predominantly rubber/plastics via visible external layer per Chapter Note 4; provide lab tests if questioned
• Include manufacturer specs confirming protective purpose against water/cold, distinguishing from regular boots
• Avoid misclassification as fashion boots by documenting over-shoe design and weatherproof features
