6404.11.90.80/Nike Air Zoom Pegasus Trail 4 Running Shoes/Japan

Nike Air Zoom Pegasus Trail 4 Running Shoes from Japan

These trail running shoes feature a textile upper made predominantly of engineered mesh for breathability and an outer sole of rubber with aggressive lugs for traction. They qualify as sports footwear under HTS 6404.11.90.80 because they are designed for running activities, valued over $12/pair, with textile uppers and rubber soles, but do not meet the specific criteria for spikes or other attachments in the sports footwear subheading note. The 'other' classification applies as they are not specialized like tennis or basketball shoes.

Import Tips

• Verify the external surface area of the textile upper exceeds other materials per Chapter Note 4(a) to avoid reclassification to leather uppers

• Provide lab test reports confirming outer sole material is rubber/plastics with greatest ground contact area, excluding reinforcements

• Ensure valuation documentation shows price over $12/pair; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
