Import Tips
• Confirm sports design via features like enhanced ankle support; document against subheading note to avoid reclass to casual footwear
• For kids' sizes, ensure per-pair valuation; bulk shipments often trigger average value audits by CBP
• Test outer sole for rubber/plastics composition; textile additives without durability don't count per US Note
