Import Tips

• Verify the external surface area of the upper is predominantly rubber or plastics (visible to naked eye) via lab testing to confirm classification

• Provide detailed value documentation per pair, as this subheading applies strictly to $3-$6.50 range; misvaluation leads to reclassification

• Label footwear clearly with materials and country of origin; ensure ankle coverage is evident in product specs to avoid disputes
