Import Tips

• Verify the outer sole and upper materials are predominantly rubber or plastics by surface area per Chapter Note 4 to avoid reclassification

• Provide lab test reports confirming waterproofing properties to support classification as protective against water or inclement weather

• Label clearly as 'work footwear' and include gender-specific sizing for women to match the subheading
