Import Tips
• Document sole construction photos/material specs to prove textile greatest surface area per Chapter Note 4
• Classify strictly as women's based on sizing; unisex may require end-use determination
• Avoid common pitfall of including reinforcements in sole area calculation—notes exclude them
