Women's Textile Ballet Flats
Affordable women's ballet flats feature uppers primarily of textile materials like canvas or cotton fabric, with outer soles of rubber or plastics. Valued under $3 per pair, these casual shoes are designed for everyday wear and fall under HTS 6404.19.59.60 due to the textile upper dominating the external surface area and low valuation.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify textile upper covers greatest external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); measure excluding reinforcements
• Provide detailed valuation documentation as 'not over $3/pair' determines subheading; invoices must specify unit price
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC fiber content rules for textile uppers to avoid CBP holds
