• Test sole for 'characteristics usually required for normal use' to confirm textile exclusion under U.S. note 5
• Include technical specs and material breakdowns in entry docs to support Chapter Note definitions
• Package for retail sale only; bulk shipments may trigger parts classification scrutiny
