Import Tips
• Document sole composition showing textile greatest surface area in ground contact; US Note 5 ignores non-durable textiles
• Avoid marketing as outdoor/waterproof to prevent scrutiny as protective footwear under other notes
• Include country-of-origin marking on visible surface; pitfall is incomplete fiber content disclosure leading to delays
