Import Tips
• Test sole for rubber dominance (ground contact >50% per note 4(b)); textile additives ignored if not durable
• Include material breakdowns in entry docs to confirm textile upper per naked-eye visibility rule
• Watch for 'waterproof' claims that might trigger protective footwear scrutiny
