Import Tips
• Label fiber/plastic content accurately; CBP requires disclosure even for predominantly synthetic uppers
• Inspect for foxing during entry – even decorative bands can trigger reclassification if overlapping upper
• Use HTS lookup tools to confirm no shift to 6402.99.9040 for waterproof variants
