Import Tips & Compliance

Verify upper material is textile (e.g

polyester) with greatest external surface area and sole textile contact per Chapter Note 4; provide lab tests if disputed

Ensure no foxing or foxing-like band of rubber/plastics overlapping upper to avoid reclassification to other 6404.19 subheadings

Label as 'house slippers' with fiber content; common pitfall is misclassifying as general slippers if sold with outdoor claims
