Disposable Plastic Shower Clogs from Japan
Disposable plastic shower clogs are lightweight, single-use clogs with open heels and minimal straps, designed for communal showers in gyms or dorms. They are made entirely of plastic, with no textile components, and are not designed for sports activities. These clogs are classified under tariff item 6405.90.00 as other footwear, as they have uppers of textile materials only if the straps are considered, but here the upper is plastic.

Import Tips
• Determine if the clogs have applied soles; if not, they may be excluded under Chapter Note 1(a) as flimsy disposable coverings
• If they are durable enough for multiple uses, they may be better classified under heading 64.02
• Document the plastic material and single-use nature to support classification under 6405.90.00
