Import Tips
• Confirm not 'sports footwear' per subheading note (no spikes/cleats) to stay in 6404.19; otherwise, 6403.19
• Use detailed photos showing no foxing or stitching in entry docs for smooth clearance
• Test outer sole material durability per US Note to ensure plastics qualify as ground-contact material
