Women's Sisal Woven Espadrille Flats from Germany

Classic women's espadrille flats with uppers crafted from woven sisal vegetable fibers for a natural, summery look. The jute-rope reinforced sole has textile materials (woven fibers) with the greatest surface area touching the ground, disregarded under U.S. note 5 for lacking sole durability. Priced $8-$11/pair, they match HTS 6404.19.82.60 for women's vegetable fiber uppers and textile sole dominance.

Import Tips

Obtain supplier affidavits confirming vegetable fiber composition (e.g

sisal >50% external surface) to support upper classification

Avoid common pitfall of classifying as leather uppers if any minimal leather trim exceeds vegetable fiber area per chapter note 4(a)

Label clearly as women's footwear; size charts must align with U.S. standards to prevent gender misclassification issues
