6404.19.52.90/Jute Fiber Espadrille Sandals/Mexico

Jute Fiber Espadrille Sandals from Mexico

Casual summer espadrille sandals featuring uppers made primarily from woven jute vegetable fibers and outer soles of rubber/plastics with a textile material (like jute canvas) having the greatest ground contact area, though not qualifying as durable under US note 5. Valued under $3/pair, these fall under HTS 6404.19.52.90 due to the specific upper and sole material combination excluding standard sole materials.

Import Tips

• Verify vegetable fiber content (e.g

• jute, sisal) exceeds 50% external upper surface per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if disputed

• Document sole composition showing textile has greatest ground contact but lacks durability/strength per US Note 5 to avoid reclassification

• Include commercial invoice proving value under $3/pair; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
