Canvas Slip-On Sneakers from Mexico
Low-top slip-on sneakers 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, though not qualifying as durable under U.S. note 5. Valued under $3/pair, these fall under HTS 6404.19.57.90 due to the specified upper and sole composition excluding vegetable fibers. They are casual everyday shoes not designed for sports.

Import Tips
• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest ground contact but lacks durability per U.S. note 5
• Provide detailed invoices showing value under $3/pair and fiber content labels for uppers excluding vegetable fibers
• Avoid misclassification as sports footwear by ensuring no provisions for spikes or cleats as per subheading note
