Women's Nike Flex Runner Textile Sneakers from Canada
These lightweight running sneakers for women feature uppers made primarily of synthetic textile materials like polyester mesh and outer soles of rubber with a textile material having the greatest surface area in contact with the ground. Valued between $6.50 and $12 per pair, they are casual athletic shoes not qualifying as sports footwear under subheading note 1. Classification under 6404.19.87.60 is due to the textile upper, rubber/plastics sole with textile ground contact, and women's sizing.

Import Tips
• Verify outer sole composition via lab testing to confirm textile has greatest ground contact area (per chapter note 4(b) and US note 5); non-durable textiles are disregarded
• Provide detailed value documentation and women's sizing proof to avoid reclassification to men's or unisex categories
• Ensure labels specify fiber content of textile upper (e.g
• 100% polyester) for CBP compliance; common pitfall is misvaluing pairs
