Import Tips
• Provide lab tests confirming rubber/plastics outer sole durability; US Note excludes weak textiles from sole consideration
• Use detailed photos/specs in entries to prove sports design (e.g
• gym/training use) vs casual
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use; classify as retail consumer goods
