Import Tips
• Document ankle height measurement (>~3 inches) with photos/specs to confirm 'covering the ankle' classification
• Label fiber content accurately; leather must predominate visually per naked eye test in chapter note 4(a)
• Avoid pitfalls by distinguishing from true 'sports footwear' (6402.12) lacking spike provisions
