Nike Air Zoom Pegasus Trail 3 Textile Sneakers from Japan

These running shoes feature textile uppers made from synthetic mesh for breathability and outer soles primarily of rubber with a textile covering that has the greatest surface area in contact with the ground. They are valued between $6.50 and $12 per pair, qualifying under HTS 6404.11.85.90 due to the specific material composition and non-sports classification as they lack provisions for spikes or cleats.

Import Tips

Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile material has greatest ground contact area, excluding non-durable textiles per U.S. note 5

Provide detailed value documentation and invoices showing per-pair pricing within $6.50-$12 range to avoid reclassification

Ensure uppers are predominantly textile (greatest external surface area) and not vegetable fibers like cotton for this subheading
