Composition Leather Slippers
Indoor slippers with uppers made of bonded composition leather, which qualifies as leather under Chapter Note 3(b) of the Customs Tariff. They are not sports footwear, lack applied soles of flimsy material, and are not worn or orthopaedic, so they fall under tariff item 6405.10.90 as other footwear.
