Canvas Slip-On Sneakers with Jute Sole
These casual slip-on sneakers feature a breathable canvas upper made from cotton textile and an outer sole primarily composed of woven jute fibers, the material with the greatest ground contact area. They have open heels and no laces or fasteners, fitting the open heel slip-on category. Classified under 6404.19.36.90 due to the textile upper and jute-dominant sole not qualifying under U.S. note 5 for durability.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If featuring a foxing or foxing-like band of rubber/plastics overlapping the upper
Presence of rubber/plastics foxing band shifts classification to the excepted subheading for such constructions.
If outer sole has rubber/plastics as greatest surface area in ground contact
Sole material determination per chapter note 4(b) would place it in 'other' footwear without textile-dominant soles.
If sold as separate uppers without attached soles
Unfinished uppers of textile materials classify under heading 6406 parts, but assembled footwear stays in 6404.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile (e.g
• jute) has greatest ground contact, excluding non-durable materials per U.S. note 5
• Provide detailed upper material breakdown (must be predominantly textile by surface area) and photos showing open heel/slip-on design
• Avoid misclassification as closed footwear; common pitfall is overlooking foxing band exclusions
