Baby Synthetic Strappy Sandals from Japan
Baby synthetic strappy sandals are open-design sandals made from synthetic plastics for infants, providing breathability. The upper is made of plastic, and the sole is also plastic, with no textile components. These sandals fall under tariff item 6405.90.00 as other footwear, as they have uppers of textile materials only if the lining is considered, but here the upper is plastic.

Import Tips
• Confirm the sandals are not designed for sports, as that would shift classification to heading 64.02
• Since the upper is plastic, ensure the material composition is documented to avoid misclassification under textile headings
• Check if the sandals are considered children's footwear per statistical note 1, which may affect duty rates
