Women's Cork Platform Jelly Sandals from Mexico

These transparent jelly sandals for women feature a raised cork base or platform for height and comfort, with uppers made entirely of PVC plastic, exceeding 90% rubber/plastics external surface area. The flexible plastic upper lacks foxing or foxing-like bands, and they are not protective overfootwear. Classified under 6402.99.25.60 due to the women's sizing, cork platform construction, and predominant plastic upper per Chapter Note 4(a).

Import Tips

Verify upper material exceeds 90% rubber/plastics via external surface area measurement, excluding reinforcements as per Chapter Note 4(a)

Document cork base composition and women's sizing (typically US 5-10) to avoid misclassification as men's or universal footwear

Ensure no foxing band overlaps upper; common pitfall leading to reclassification under 6402.99.31
