Import Tips

• Verify the outer sole material is predominantly rubber/plastics per Chapter Note 4(b); test for ground contact area excluding reinforcements

• Provide lab reports confirming waterproofing for water/chemical protection claims to avoid reclassification

• Ensure marking with country of origin and material content; common pitfall is mislabeling as fashion footwear
