Import Tips
• Test PVC/rubber visibility to naked eye (Chapter Note 3(a)); coated textiles count as plastics if layer visible
• Confirm ankle coverage by design height; partial coverage risks 6402.99 reclassification
• Prepare lab tests for material composition if customs queries sole durability (US Note on textiles)
