They are classified under HTS 6405.20.90.30 because the uppers are predominantly textile by external surface area and they are not sports footwear, stiffeners, or other specified exceptions. Suitable for everyday wear, not designed for specific sporting activities.

Import Tips

Verify textile composition of uppers exceeds 50% external surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab test reports if challenged

Ensure labeling includes fiber content (e.g

polyester, cotton) and country of origin as required by FTC and CBP regulations

Avoid misclassification as sports footwear by confirming no provisions for spikes or cleats; common pitfall is athletic styling
