Men's Canvas Slip-On Sneakers from Germany
These casual slip-on sneakers for men feature uppers made predominantly of plastic-coated canvas, where over 90% of the external surface area is rubber or plastics material. The flexible rubber/plastic outer sole provides everyday comfort and traction. This classification applies due to the high rubber/plastics content in the upper per Chapter Note 4(a).

• Provide detailed photos and material breakdowns in entry documentation to avoid reclassification to textile uppers
• Ensure no foxing band overlaps the upper, as that would shift to 6402.99.61 subheading
