Cork Platform Rubber Sandals
Women's summer sandals featuring a base platform made of cork with uppers constructed entirely of rubber straps, where over 90% of the external surface area of the upper is rubber. The outer sole is also rubber, and the cork platform elevates the foot for comfort. This falls under HTS 6402.99.25 due to the cork base/platform and predominant rubber upper and sole.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the external surface area of the upper is over 90% rubber/plastics via lab testing to confirm classification
• Document cork composition of the base/platform with supplier specs to avoid reclassification as non-platform footwear
• Ensure no foxing band overlaps the upper, as that would shift to another subheading
