Import Tips

• Verify upper material composition exceeds 90% rubber/plastics via lab testing to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to textile uppers

• Include safety certification documents like ASTM standards for work footwear to support 'work' designation during customs review

• Ensure labeling specifies 'work footwear for women' and avoids foxing-like bands to prevent shifts to excluded subheadings
