Women's Bamboo Fiber Open-Toe Slip-On Sandals from Japan

These women's sandals feature uppers made primarily from woven bamboo vegetable fibers and open toes, held to the foot without laces or buckles. The outer soles are rubber with textile materials providing the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, but not qualifying under U.S. note 5 due to lacking durability for normal sole use. Classified under 6404.19.36.60 as women's slip-on footwear with textile uppers and specified sole construction.

Import Tips

• Verify upper material is predominantly vegetable fibers like bamboo by surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if challenged

• Document that textile on sole does not meet U.S. note 5 durability standards to avoid reclassification to other subheadings

• Label clearly as women's footwear and ensure no foxing band to stay within 6404.19 exclusions
