Men's Leather-Trimmed Textile Sneakers from China

Casual sneakers featuring a textile upper where leather accents and reinforcements cover over 50% of the external surface area, with a rubber outer sole.

These are not sports footwear as they lack provisions for spikes or cleats.

Import Tips

• Measure external surface area of the upper precisely, including leather patches and edging, to confirm over 50% leather as per Chapter Note 4(a)

• Provide lab test reports or material breakdowns to CBP to verify leather content from headings 4107 or 4112-4114

• Avoid misclassification as pure textile uppers (6404.19.90); common pitfall is underestimating leather accessories
