Import Tips
• Conduct surface area analysis pre-shipment; minor leather accents (<10%) won't disqualify if rubber dominates
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use, maintaining retail footwear classification
• Monitor EU REACH compliance for rubber compounds if transshipping through Europe
