Import Tips & Compliance

Verify upper material composition exceeds 90% rubber/plastics via lab testing to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to textile uppers

Provide detailed photos and blueprints showing wooden base/platform construction and lack of foxing overlap for CBP review

Ensure men's sizing documentation (e.g

US 7-13) to prevent misclassification as women's or unisex footwear
