Import Tips

• Document that shoes are not 'protective active footwear' (e.g

• no water protection via coated textile) to stay in this code

• Measure external surface area precisely, ignoring accessories per Chapter Note 4(a)

• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as sports footwear; confirm no provisions for spikes/cleats
