Women's Sisal Textile Gym Shoes from Canada
Lightweight women's gym shoes with uppers crafted from sisal vegetable fibers for flexibility during workouts. The outer sole uses a rubber base overlaid with textile for traction, where textile has the largest ground-contact area but is non-durable per U.S. note 5. Valued at $5/pair, these qualify as training shoes under HTS 6404.11.71.60 for women.

Import Tips
• Provide fiber content labels confirming vegetable fibers >50% external upper surface; mislabeling leads to Chapter 64 reclassification
• Include cross-section diagrams of sole to prove textile ground contact dominance while qualifying U.S. note 5 exclusion
• Watch for gender-specific classification; unisex items may require sales data to justify 'for women' subheading
