Import Tips & Compliance

Conduct material assays for sole to prove leather dominance and rubber/plastics percentages; retain lab reports for audits

Classify strictly as 'for men' based on size (typically 6+ US men's) to avoid reclassification to boys' codes

Avoid common pitfall of including reinforcements in surface area calculations per Chapter Note 4(a)
