Import Tips
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) proving chemical resistance to support subheading 6402.99.33 claim; CBP often requests this for verification
• Ensure 'for men' sizing standards (e.g
• US 7+) are documented, as unisex items risk reclassification to women's or other categories
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled as parts; classify as complete footwear units to prevent shift to heading 6406
