These high-top sneakers feature a rubber outer sole and plastic-coated canvas uppers that cover the ankle, designed for casual everyday wear.

Not qualifying as sports footwear due to lack of spikes or athletic-specific design.

Import Tips

• Verify outer sole material by ground contact area and upper by external surface area per Chapter Note 4; document with photos and supplier specs

• Ensure accurate valuation per pair including retail packaging; common pitfall is misclassifying as sports footwear without spikes or cleats

• Label fiber content if any textile visible, but plastics coating dominates classification
