Women's Canvas Slip-On Sneakers from Japan

Low-top slip-on sneakers for women featuring a textile canvas upper and an outer sole primarily of rubber or plastics with a textile material covering the greatest surface area in ground contact, but excluded from sole material determination per U.S. note 5. Valued under $3/pair, these casual shoes are designed for everyday wear. They fall under HTS 6404.19.57.60 due to the textile upper (not vegetable fibers) and specific sole construction.

Import Tips

• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile coverage doesn't count per U.S. note 5, avoiding misclassification

• Provide detailed value documentation proving under $3/pair to qualify for this subheading

• Label uppers accurately as non-vegetable textile to prevent shifts to other 6404 subheadings
