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
