Canvas Sneakers from Japan

Classic low-top canvas sneakers feature uppers made primarily of cotton textile fabric and outer soles where textile materials have the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, though not qualifying under US note 5 for durability. Valued between $3 and $6.50 per pair, they are casual everyday shoes classified under HTS 6404.19.77.90 due to the specific material composition and value range.

Import Tips

• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest ground contact area but lacks US note 5 durability

• Label fiber content accurately on uppers (e.g

• 100% cotton) and provide value documentation to prove $3-$6.50 range

• Avoid misclassification as cheaper footwear under 6404.19.30 by ensuring proper valuation and material specs
