• Verify outer sole material is rubber/plastics (greatest ground contact) and upper is predominantly textile per Chapter Note 4
• Provide certification that boots are designed for skiing with binding attachment provisions to meet subheading note 1
• Include value documentation proving over $12/pair; common pitfall is misclassifying as general athletic shoes
