Import Tips
• Include technical drawings showing heel-specific contour to distinguish from generic plastic moldings
• Label with precise plastic resin type (e.g
• ABS, PVC) for customs material verification
• Avoid bundling with uppers; separate packaging prevents classification as assembled uppers
