Import Tips
• Conduct surface area measurements per Chapter Note 4(a) to document rubber/plastics dominance, including reinforcements
• Label clearly as 'men's' with size charts; mixed sizing can lead to audits and duty adjustments
• Avoid chemical treatments that could imply weather protection, triggering exclusion from this code
