Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If outer sole has rubber/plastics as greatest surface area
Chapter Note 4(b) bases sole material on ground-contact area; rubber/plastics dominance shifts to general textile upper sports footwear.
If not qualifying as sports/training footwear
Lacks design for sporting activity per subheading note; becomes other footwear with textile uppers and rubber/plastic soles.
If uppers are synthetic fibers instead of vegetable
Vegetable fibers (cotton/jute) specify 6404.11; synthetic textile uppers fall under 6404.19 for similar low-value sports shoes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g

• Document sole composition to prove textile has greatest ground contact per Note 4(b) and U.S
• Note 5 exclusion
• Ensure value declaration under $3/pair with invoices; watch for reclassification if adhesive bonding or foxing is misidentified
