Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If outer sole ≥50% rubber by weight

If imported as replacement uppers only
Chapter Note excludes parts like uppers without soles from heading 6406; sole-less uppers go to Chapter 64 parts.
If textile fabric coated with plastics visible externally
Visible plastics layer on textile makes it 'textile covered with plastics' in Chapter 59, not footwear upper.
