Import Tips
• Include lab tests or manufacturer specs confirming textile upper dominance and sports-specific design
• Label clearly as women's ski boots to match subheading; mixed sizing may trigger audits
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluation declarations, as high-end ski boots often exceed $12 threshold
