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
