Import Tips
• Provide lab tests confirming >90% plastics/rubber upper surface; CBP often audits surface area claims
• Label clearly as 'women's' with size charts; mislabeling as unisex can trigger 6402.99.21 (men)
• Avoid chemical-resistant claims to prevent reclassification as protective under 6402.99.80
