Cozy Plush Indoor House Slippers
These house slippers feature soft plush textile uppers and outer soles primarily made of textile materials (not qualifying under US note 5 for durability), with rubber or plastic as the base material having the greatest ground contact per chapter note 4(b). Valued between $6.50 and $12 per pair, they are designed exclusively for indoor use as comfortable house footwear. Classification under 6404.19.87.15 reflects the textile upper (non-vegetable fibers) and specific sole composition.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If valued over $12/pair
Higher valuation exceeds the $6.50-$12/pair threshold, moving to the next value band in the same footwear structure.
If outer soles lack sufficient rubber/plastics contact area
If textile covers most ground contact and qualifies under US note 5 as durable, it shifts to Chapter 64 footwear with primarily textile soles.
If knitted or crocheted without fixed outer sole
Panty hose, socks, and similar knitted articles without a distinct outer sole of rubber/plastics fall under Chapter 61.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify valuation documentation shows $6.50-$12/pair to avoid reclassification to higher/lower value subheadings
• Conduct material surface area tests per chapter note 4 to confirm textile upper dominance and sole composition, retaining lab reports for CBP review
• Label clearly as 'house slippers' and ensure no outdoor/sports features to prevent shifts to 6404.19 other categories
