Men's Canvas Slip-On Sneakers from Mexico

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).

Import Tips

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

• 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
