Adhesive Canvas Sneakers from Canada

Low-top casual sneakers featuring a textile canvas upper and an outer sole primarily made of textile materials (greatest surface area in contact with ground), with rubber or plastic mid-sole and sole affixed exclusively by adhesive without foxing or overlapping. Valued between $3-$6.50/pair, these fall under HTS 6404.19.61.90 due to the textile-dominant outer sole (textile not qualifying under US note 5 for durability) and non-vegetable fiber upper. Excludes sports footwear designs.

Import Tips

• Verify outer sole material surface area per Chapter Note 4(b); document textile coverage exceeding rubber/plastics for classification

• Provide lab tests confirming adhesive-only affixation (no stitching/sewing) and value under $6.50/pair to avoid higher subheadings

• Label fiber content accurately (non-vegetable textile upper) and ensure no foxing band to prevent reclassification to excluded categories
