Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the external surface area of the upper is over 90% rubber/plastics via lab testing to confirm classification
• Document wooden base construction with photos and material specs to avoid misclassification as standard plastic soles
• Ensure no foxing band overlaps the upper, as that shifts to 6402.99.90; common pitfall in platform designs
