Import Tips
• Document snowboard-specific design features like binding compatibility to distinguish from general winter boots
• Measure upper surface area carefully; reinforcements don't count toward material determination per Chapter Note 4(a)
• Avoid classifying as 'protective active footwear' under other subheadings; this is specifically for snowboarding
