Import Tips
• Composite toe-caps qualify as 'protective metal toe-cap' equivalents; retain impact test reports from providers like ASTM
• Label footwear clearly with material composition to comply with FTC labeling rules and prevent customs holds
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing; use transaction value with full invoice details for accurate duty assessment
