If textile forms the predominant visible external surface (per Chapter Note 4(a)), classifies as textile upper footwear regardless of rubber layer.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify upper material exceeds 90% rubber/plastics via surface area measurement per Chapter Note 4(a); document with photos and lab tests
• Confirm wooden base qualifies as 'base or platform' – not just a sole – to avoid reclassification to non-platform subheadings
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'waterproof' which could shift to protective exclusions; ensure valuation exceeds $2.50/pair threshold
