Import Tips

• Document plastic content with supplier affidavits or surface area measurements to substantiate the 90% threshold

• Avoid marketing as 'casual' or 'fashion' to prevent disputes over work designation; emphasize industrial applications

• Check for any applied foxing during manufacturing, as it could reclassify to 6403 series footwear
