Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the upper material has the greatest external surface area of rubber/plastics per Chapter Note 4(a) to avoid reclassification

Provide lab test reports confirming outer sole material in ground contact meets US Note requirements for durability

Label clearly as men's footwear by US sizing standards to prevent mixing with women's or unisex categories
