Import Tips
• Document retail value >$24/pair with invoices; undervaluation risks audits for protective active status
• Include technical specs on waterproofing (e.g
• membrane type) to substantiate classification over general athletic shoes
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling men's/women's fit—CBP checks sizing charts for women-specific classification
