Import Tips
• Verify outer sole is predominantly rubber/plastics by surface area in contact with ground per Chapter Note 4(b)
• Provide documentation confirming value exceeds $12/pair and textile upper has greatest external surface area
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no spikes/cleats provision that might shift to other sports subheadings
