Import Tips
• Verify the external surface area of the upper is predominantly rubber or plastics (visible to naked eye) per Chapter Note 4(a) to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab tests confirming value over $12/pair and non-sports design; common pitfall is mislabeling as athletic wear
• Ensure women's sizing documentation matches HTS; declare accurately to prevent audits on gender-specific subheadings
