Import Tips
• Provide evidence of non-slip sole testing and work-specific design to affirm classification over casual clogs
• Label clearly as 'women's work footwear' with size charts confirming adult female fit to avoid baby/men mix-ups
• Inspect for any textile reinforcements that might drop below 90% rubber/plastic surface area
