6404.11.71.60/Women's Jute Fiber Hiking Sneakers/China

Women's Jute Fiber Hiking Sneakers from China

These women's hiking sneakers feature uppers made primarily from woven jute vegetable fibers, providing breathability and natural durability for outdoor trails. The outer sole is rubber with a textile material covering the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, qualifying under note 4(b) as the textile lacks durability for normal sole use per U.S. note 5. They are designed as training shoes valued between $3 and $6.50 per pair, fitting HTS 6404.11.71.60.

Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute or sisal via lab tests, as customs measures external surface area per chapter note 4(a)

• Document sole composition showing textile has greatest ground contact but excluded under U.S. note 5; include manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification

• Ensure valuation proof (invoices) confirms $3-$6.50/pair range; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to penalties
