Import Tips

Verify the footwear qualifies as 'work footwear' with safety features like steel toes; provide lab test reports for protective elements

Confirm valuation between $6.50-$12/pair with commercial invoices; declare exact value to avoid reclassification

Label fiber content if any textiles are visible, but note rubber/plastics upper dominance per Chapter Note 4(a)
