Textile slipper import duty from China
Check US HTS candidates for textile-upper slippers from China and compare footwear material and sole construction splits.
Quick answer
6405.20.90
At a $10,000 customs value, the current China-origin total rate is about 25.0% ($2,500).
Classification risk & HTS split
Textile-upper slippers turn on the predominant external surface area of the upper (per GRI Note to Ch.64): textile upper + rubber/plastic outer sole goes to HTS 6404.19 (general rate 12.5-37.5% by construction); textile upper + textile sole moves to 6405.20 (12.5%). Footwear with formed and stitched-on uppers may classify differently from foam-injection construction. The HTS suffix .20 (with textile sole) vs .37/.39 (with rubber sole) drives material 5-15 percentage point spreads on the same physical product.

FAQ
How do I find the US HTS code for textile slipper from China?
Start from the product name or local HS code, anchor on HS6, then compare US HTS candidate descriptions. Textile slipper can split after HS6 by material, use, construction, or function; the applicable Chapter 99 overlays differ between China and China origins.
Does China origin trigger Section 301?
Yes. Section 301 (9903.88.x) stacks on top of MFN for China-origin goods; the active subheading list is maintained by USTR.
