6404.19.82.60/Women's Jute Fiber Hiking Sneakers/Japan

Women's Jute Fiber Hiking Sneakers from Japan

These women's sneakers feature uppers made primarily from woven jute vegetable fibers, providing a breathable and eco-friendly option for casual hiking. The outer sole is rubber with a textile material covering the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, qualifying under note 4(b) as the textile lacks durability for normal sole use per U.S. note 5. Valued between $6.50 and $12 per pair, they fit HTS 6404.19.82.60 due to the specific upper and sole material combination for women.

Import Tips

• Verify upper is predominantly vegetable fibers like jute or sisal by surface area (over 50%) and document fiber content certificates to avoid reclassification

• Measure outer sole contact area precisely; ensure textile portion is largest but non-durable per U.S. note 5, with lab tests if challenged by CBP

• Confirm valuation $6.50-$12/pair excluding inland freight; common pitfall is misvaluing sets or promotional bundles
