Import Tips
• Verify the sole is not attached to any upper or insole to avoid reclassification under complete footwear headings like 6402 or 6404
• Provide detailed material composition certificates confirming 100% rubber or plastics content, excluding any textile reinforcements
• Ensure packaging labels clearly state 'outer soles only' to prevent customs disputes over completeness
