Cozy Plush Indoor Slippers from China
These house slippers feature soft plush textile uppers made from synthetic fibers like polyester and have outer soles primarily of rubber with a textile covering that has the greatest surface area in contact with the ground. Valued between $3 and $6.50 per pair, they are designed for indoor comfort, not sports or outdoor use. They classify under HTS 6404.19.77.15 due to the textile upper (non-vegetable fibers), specific sole construction, and house slipper designation.
