Value threshold determines subheading; higher price moves it out of the $3-$6.50 bracket.
If outer sole textile has greatest surface area and meets durability per U.S. note 5
Durable textile soles shift classification as textile soles are counted under note 5.
If upper is predominantly textile rather than rubber/plastics
Chapter Note 4(a) bases upper material on external surface area; textile uppers go to Chapter 64 heading 6405.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify outer sole material via lab testing to confirm rubber has greatest ground contact per Chapter Note 4(b), excluding non-durable textiles
• Provide detailed value documentation and invoices showing per-pair pricing within $3-$6.50 range to avoid reclassification
• Label footwear clearly with materials and country of origin; watch for CBP scrutiny on plastic vs. textile sole distinctions
