Import Tips
• Verify the outer sole material is predominantly rubber or plastics by surface area in contact with ground per Chapter Note 4(b)
• Document valuation proof showing $3-$6.50/pair and confirm adhesive-only affixation without foxing via manufacturing specs
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no foxing band or sole overlap beyond toe/heel; inspect samples thoroughly
