Import Tips
• Provide detailed material breakdown reports showing rubber/plastics between 10-50% weight to avoid misclassification
• Label clearly as 'for men' and include size charts confirming adult male sizing for subheading accuracy
• Avoid common pitfall of including sole trimmings (e.g
• rubber heels) that could tip over 50% non-leather weight
