Import Tips
• Document textile upper composition (e.g
• nylon/polyester) to confirm dominance over any leather trims
• Ensure no waterproof coating qualifies as 'protective active' under US note, avoiding 6402 misclassification
• Use men's sizing charts in documentation; EU 41-46 typically denotes men's for customs
