Import Tips & Compliance

• Document wood species and treatment to confirm it meets footwear base standards, avoiding Chapter 44 classification

• Label clearly as 'no inner sole' to prevent reclassification; inspect for hidden linings

• Check for any metal components that could be deemed protective toe-caps
