Import Tips

• Verify the upper's external surface area is over 90% rubber/plastics via lab testing if contested by customs

• Provide molding production records to confirm one-piece construction, avoiding reclassification to multi-part sandals

• Label clearly as 'men's' footwear and check valuation for any special programs like GSP eligibility
