Import Tips & Compliance
• Measure external surface area of uppers precisely to confirm >90% rubber/plastics; document with photos and material specs to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no foxing or foxing-like band overlaps the upper, as this excludes from 6402.99.31; provide sole-upper assembly diagrams
• Label footwear clearly as 'women's' based on size/fit; common pitfall is misgender classification leading to audits
