This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If with mesh textile panels exceeding 50% exterior
Textile fabrics with plastic coating still classify by dominant external area; excess textile changes heading.
If imported as bulk textile material before assembly

If bulk plastic sheets cut but not shaped for footwear
Plain plastic profiles without footwear-specific shaping classify as other plastic articles.
