Women's Rubber-Sole Textile Sandals
Open-toe sandals for women featuring uppers of rubber or plastics and outer soles where textile materials have the greatest ground contact area, but these textiles lack the durability for normal sole use per U.S. note 5. They are slip-on type without laces, buckles, or fasteners, and no foxing band. Classified under 6402.99.41.00 due to the specific outer sole material rule and open-toe/slip-on design.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile surface area exceeds other materials but fails durability per U.S. note 5
• Provide detailed photos and material breakdowns in entry docs to avoid misclassification as 6402.99.90 (other soles)
• Ensure no foxing or foxing-like band is present, as that shifts to excluded subheadings
