Style no. L98719F has a 100 percent leather upper. Style no. L98764F has a leather upper with a fleece collar. The leather is the constituent material having the greatest surface area of the upper.

Your samples are being returned to you under separate cover.

The applicable subheading for the samples will be 6403.99.90, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of United States, HTS, which provides for footwear, in which the upper’s external surface is predominatley leather; in which the outer sole is rubber and/or plastics; which is other than “sports footwear”; in which the top of the upper does not cover the wearer’s ankle; in which the sole is attached to the upper by means other than welt stitched construction; which is worn by other than men, youths and boys; which is valued over $2.50 per pair. The rate of duty will be 10 percent ad valorem.
