Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify outer sole material has greatest ground contact area (rubber/plastics) per Chapter Note 4(b); document with material specs to avoid reclassification
• Provide invoices showing value $6.50-$12/pair and confirm ankle coverage; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
• Label as men's footwear based on size/design; ensure no sports features like cleat provisions to stay out of sports subheadings
