Import Tips & Compliance

Verify outer sole material via lab testing to confirm rubber has greatest ground contact area, excluding non-durable textiles per US Note 5

Label footwear clearly as 'men's' and provide fiber content disclosure for textile uppers to avoid reclassification

Ensure no foxing band of rubber/plastics overlapping upper, as that would shift to other subheadings
