Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 6404.19.57
Travel Polyester Foldable Slippers
Compact, foldable slippers for travel with polyester textile uppers and thin fabric soles, under $3/pair, where textile material dominates ground contact but doesn't qualify under U.S. note 5 strength terms. Ideal for air travel or hostel use, these fit HTS 6404.19.57 for low-value synthetic textile footwear.
Disposable Polyester Shower Slippers
Lightweight, disposable slippers made with uppers of synthetic textile material like polyester and outer soles primarily of textile fabric in contact with the ground. These cheap slippers, valued under $3/pair, are designed for single-use in showers or spas, with textile soles not qualifying as durable under U.S. note 5. They fall under HTS 6404.19.57 due to the textile upper (non-vegetable fibers) and predominant textile sole contact area.
Budget Nylon Beach Flip-Flops
Inexpensive flip-flops featuring nylon textile uppers and fabric strap soles with textile as the primary ground-contact material, valued not over $3/pair. The thin textile soles do not meet durability requirements of U.S. note 5, distinguishing them from more robust footwear. Classified in 6404.19.57 for synthetic textile uppers and qualifying textile sole composition.
Promotional Polyester Hotel Slippers
Thin, open-heel slippers provided in budget hotels, constructed with polyester textile uppers and lightweight textile soles not intended for extended wear, valued under $3/pair. The soles' textile material has the greatest ground contact but lacks the strength for normal footwear use per U.S. note 5. HTS 6404.19.57 applies specifically to such low-value, non-vegetable fiber textile footwear.
Kids Synthetic Fabric Scuff Slippers
Children's low-cost scuff-style slippers with uppers of synthetic textile fabric and fabric-based soles where textile provides main ground contact, under $3/pair. These casual indoor shoes have soles not meeting U.S. note 5 durability standards for textile materials. Fits 6404.19.57 for youth footwear with specified textile composition.
Festival Polyamide Strappy Sandals
Ultra-cheap strappy sandals for events, made with polyamide textile uppers and minimal textile soles valued not over $3/pair.

Precisely matches 6404.19.57 criteria for synthetic textile footwear.
Party Favor Textile Mule Slippers

Spa Nylon Terrycloth Slides
Soft terrycloth slides for spa use with nylon-based textile uppers and matching textile slide soles, valued not over $3/pair. Textile sole material has greatest ground contact but fails U.S. note 5 durability test. Classifies under 6404.19.57 for such wellness footwear.
Dollar Store Acrylic Fiber Slippers
Mass-market acrylic textile slippers sold at discount stores, with uppers and soles of synthetic fibers where textile dominates ground contact, under $3/pair. Soles lack strength per U.S. note 5, fitting the precise 6404.19.57 description for cheap non-cotton textile footwear.
