Import Tips
• Verify outer sole material by surface area in contact with ground; ignore minor reinforcements per Chapter Note 4(b)
• Provide detailed value documentation like invoices to confirm $6.50-$12/pair range and avoid reclassification to adjacent subheadings
• Label fiber content if any textile is visible, but plastics coating dominates upper classification
