Import Tips
• Test for water resistance claims; if not via coated/laminated textile over $24/pair, it avoids protective active subheadings
• Document per-pair pricing with invoices; customs scrutinizes value brackets closely for this range
• Include upper material breakdown in entry docs to prove plastics dominance over any minor leather reinforcements
