Women's Cork Platform Jelly Sandals from Germany

These transparent jelly sandals feature a thick cork platform base for height and comfort, with uppers made almost entirely of PVC plastic exceeding 90% external surface area. The flexible rubber outer sole contacts the ground, and no foxing band overlaps the upper, fitting precisely under HTS 6402.99.25.90 for plastic-uppered footwear on cork bases. They are casual summer shoes, not protective or sports-oriented.

Import Tips

Verify upper material composition via lab testing to confirm over 90% rubber/plastics external surface area, excluding reinforcements

Provide detailed photos and specs showing cork base/platform and absence of foxing band to avoid reclassification

Label footwear clearly with country of origin and material content; common pitfall is mismeasuring external surface area
