Import Tips
• Test outer sole contact area (note 4(b)); ensure rubber dominates ground contact, excluding weak textiles
• Include lab reports on lamination for protective claims; avoid 'active footwear' mislabeling under US note
• Confirm men's sizing (e.g
• US 7-13); mixed shipments require segregation
