Adhesive Canvas Espadrilles from Japan

Classic summer espadrilles featuring uppers made from vegetable fibers like jute canvas and outer soles with a textile material (jute rope) having the greatest surface area in contact with the ground.

Valued between $3 and $6.50 per pair, these qualify under HTS 6404.11.61 due to the specific upper material, sole construction, and value range.

Import Tips

• Verify sole textile area exceeds rubber/plastics per Chapter Note 4(b) and U.S

• Note 5; provide lab tests if challenged

• Document adhesive-only construction with photos/manufacturing specs to avoid reclassification to foxing subheadings

• Label fiber content accurately (e.g

• jute upper) and ensure value declaration matches invoices for this narrow price band
