Women's Leather Loafers
Casual women's loafers with full-grain leather uppers dominating the external surface, suitable for everyday wear.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for house slippers or similar indoor use
Heading 6403 covers house footwear like slippers; loafers designed primarily for indoor/residential use shift there regardless of leather upper.
If not covering ankle and uppers include significant non-leather
6405.90 applies to other footwear (e.g., sandals); low-cut loafers without full upper coverage may reclassify.
If imported as uppers only, without soles attached
Chapter Note 6 excludes finished parts; sole-less leather uppers are parts of heading 6406.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Avoid bulk packing without individual boxes if marketed for retail, as it may trigger set classification scrutiny
