Women's Leather Moccasin Slip-Ons from China
Handcrafted women's moccasins feature flexible leather uppers stitched directly to a thin leather outer sole using the traditional turn or turned construction method. This technique exposes the seam on the outside for a seamless interior fit, classifying it under HTS 6403.59.15 as turn footwear with leather upper and leather sole.

Import Tips
• Verify turn/turned construction via visible exterior seams and request manufacturer certification to confirm leather sole material
• Provide detailed photos and construction diagrams in entry documentation to avoid reclassification as glued footwear
• Ensure leather originates from headings 4107 or 4112-4114; test for tanning process to prevent disputes
