Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the upper has over 90% external surface area of rubber/plastics via lab testing to confirm classification
• Provide molding production records to prove one-piece construction and avoid reclassification as assembled goods
• Ensure no foxing or foxing-like band is present, as this excludes from this subheading
