Import Tips
• Document molding process and material specs to prove uniform rubber/plastics construction without textile components
• Label clearly as casual footwear to distinguish from protective or sports types during customs review
• Watch for misclassification as toys if sized small; ensure adult footwear dimensions and labeling
