Import Tips & Compliance

Conduct material surface area analysis for uppers/sole; retain photos/tests for CBP review

Classify as 'work' with evidence of safety features; avoid general 'safety shoe' ambiguity

Watch for set classification if sold with insoles—individual boots stay here, sets may change
