Men's Bamboo Fiber Slip-On Sandals from China

These lightweight slip-on sandals for men feature uppers made primarily from bamboo vegetable fibers, with open toes and heels, held to the foot without laces or buckles. The outer soles are rubber or plastics comprising less than 10% by weight, and no foxing band is present. They classify under HTS 6404.19.25.30 due to the textile upper of vegetable fibers, men's sizing, and slip-on design with low rubber/plastics content.

Import Tips

Verify the weight percentage of rubber/plastics in soles is under 10% via lab testing to avoid reclassification to higher subheadings

Provide detailed material composition certificates confirming vegetable fiber uppers (e.g

bamboo) dominate external surface area

Ensure men's sizing documentation; mislabeling as unisex or women could shift to other gender-specific codes
