Import Tips
• Measure external surface area of upper per Chapter Note 4(a); ignore linings but confirm rubber dominance
• Prepare invoices specifying protective features to distinguish from casual footwear
• Watch for pitfalls in blended materials; get pre-shipment rulings if neoprene exceeds 50% visible area
