Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If rubber/plastics have greatest sole-ground contact

If uppers not predominantly vegetable fibers
Other textile uppers (e.g., cotton, nylon) fall under 6405 if ≤$3/pair, as vegetable fibers specify this subheading.
If valued over $3/pair
Value threshold shifts to higher-value category within same structure; check invoice for accurate pricing.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify upper is predominantly vegetable fibers (e.g
• jute, sisal) by surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); document fiber origin
• Confirm sole textile area exceeds rubber/plastics contact per U.S
• Note 5 exclusion; provide lab tests if challenged
• Avoid foxing or overlapping soles at sides to stay in this subheading; common pitfall is misclassifying as 6404.19.40
