Import Tips
• Verify the footwear qualifies as 'designed to be worn over or in lieu of other footwear' with product specs and marketing materials to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab tests confirming rubber/plastics composition and water resistance; declare exact material surface areas per Chapter Note 4
