Import Tips
• Include manufacturer specs confirming metal toe-cap protection equivalent to 75 ft-lb impact resistance for CBP verification
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 'casual' shoes without toe-cap; provide photos showing visible metal cap
• For bulk imports, segregate by pair value to prevent averaging that could push some over $6.50 threshold
