Men's Canvas Sneakers from Japan

Low-top sneakers for men featuring a textile canvas upper and an outer sole primarily made of rubber or plastics with a textile material covering the greatest surface area in ground contact, though not qualifying under US note 5 for durability. Valued under $3 per pair, these casual shoes fall under HTS 6404.19.57.30 due to the specified material composition and low value. They are designed for everyday wear, not sports.

Import Tips

• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest ground contact area but lacks US note 5 durability

• Include detailed value documentation proving under $3/pair to avoid reclassification to higher-value subheadings

• Label uppers as synthetic textile (not vegetable fibers) and ensure no sports features to stay in 6404.19
