Import Tips
• Confirm not 'sports footwear' per subheading note (no spikes/cleats); declare as casual to prevent reclassification
• Measure upper surface area excluding reinforcements (Note 4(a)); retain supplier specs for CBP review
• Watch for bulk packaging pitfalls—value per marketed pair, not per unit in bulk shipments
