Import Tips
• Submit manufacturing blueprints illustrating vamp's role in footwear assembly to counter claims of finished boot status
• Ensure no outer sole material contact; even partial attachment shifts to finished footwear headings like 6403
• Test for durability if textile sole elements present, per US Note on outer sole materials
