Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the outer sole material is predominantly rubber/plastics by surface area in contact with ground per Chapter Note 4(b)
• Provide documentation proving value exceeds $12/pair and intended for work use to avoid reclassification
• Ensure labeling complies with safety standards for steel toe protection; common pitfall is misstating upper material composition
