Men's Adhesive Textile Sneakers from China
Casual men's sneakers featuring a textile upper made from synthetic fibers and an outer sole primarily of textile material in contact with the ground, affixed exclusively with adhesive without foxing or overlapping soles. Valued between $3 and $6.50 per pair, these fall under HTS 6404.19.61.30 due to the specific construction, material composition, and value range for men's footwear. The textile sole material is not disregarded under US note 5 as it meets durability standards.

Import Tips
• Verify sole material surface area in contact with ground exceeds other materials and confirm textile durability per US note 5 to avoid reclassification
• Document adhesive-only affixation with manufacturing photos or specs; customs often inspects for hidden stitching or foxing
• Label value accurately under $6.50/pair; provide invoices proving retail pricing to prevent undervaluation penalties
