Import Tips
• Verify the protective metal toe-cap meets ASTM F2413 standards and provide test reports to confirm classification
• Declare exact value per pair accurately; undervaluation leads to penalties under 19 CFR 152
• Label footwear clearly with materials and country of origin to avoid CBP reclassification
