Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm rubber is visible externally on upper per Chapter Note 3(a); test samples if textile-backed to ensure proper classification
• Ankle coverage measured from top of upper; provide photos/diagrams in entry docs to prevent misclassification as low boots
• Avoid claiming as protective if no water-resistant coating/laminate over $24/pair, which would shift to 6402.91.42
