Bamboo Textile Thong Sandals from Germany

Bamboo textile thong sandals have uppers made of woven bamboo fiber, processed as vegetable material, and minimalist thong styling. They are classified under 6405.20.90 as other footwear with textile uppers, as bamboo fiber is a vegetable fiber and the sandals are not sports footwear. The casual design confirms the 'other' category.
