Nike Flex Runner Textile Sneakers from China
Lightweight running sneakers featuring a textile upper made from synthetic mesh and nylon for breathability, with an outer sole primarily of rubber but incorporating textile areas for grip that don't qualify as the dominant ground-contact material per US note 5. Valued between $6.50 and $12 per pair, these fall under HTS 6404.19.87.90 due to the textile upper and specified outer sole composition.

Import Tips
• Verify outer sole material dominance via lab testing to confirm textile contact area doesn't meet US note 5 criteria for exclusion
• Include detailed value documentation and country-of-origin certificates to prove valuation under $12/pair
• Label fiber content accurately for textile uppers to avoid reclassification during customs review
