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
