Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify upper material surface area exceeds 50% rubber/plastics via naked eye test (Chapter Note 4(a)); document with photos
• Provide value invoices proving over $12/pair to avoid downclassification to lower subheadings
• Label clearly as men's footwear; mislabeling as unisex can trigger audits
