Men's Leather-Panelled Deck Shoes from China
Men's deck shoes with a textile upper where leather panels on the vamp and quarter cover more than 50% of the external surface area, paired with a composition rubber outer sole. Under Chapter 64 Note 4(a), the upper's constituent material is determined by greatest external surface area, so leather dominates despite the textile base. They are classified here as other footwear with textile uppers and rubber/plastic soles, not qualifying as sports footwear.

Import Tips
• Ensure the upper's external surface area is accurately measured, as leather must exceed 50% to stay in this item; otherwise, classification may shift to 6403 or 6405
• Declare the composition of the outer sole (rubber/plastics) and upper materials precisely on the CBSA import documents
• Keep supplier specifications handy in case the CBSA requests verification of surface area calculations
