Thailand origin · HTS candidates
Textile slipper import duty from Thailand
Find US HTS candidates for textile slipper from Thailand, then check the current MFN and Chapter 99 stack. Thailand-origin goods typically avoid Section 301, but AD/CVD and reciprocal rules may still apply.
Quick answer
6405.20.90.15
At a $10,000 customs value, the current Thailand-origin total rate is about 12.5% ($1,250).
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.
Thailand origin context
Thailand's slipper output centers on Samut Prakan with strong synthetic and natural-rubber sole supply via the southern provinces. Thailand-origin slippers face MFN-only on HTS 6404.19 — no Section 301 — but Thailand is a current active reciprocal-tariff country (9903.01.x scope), and the rate varies by HTS subheading and effective date. Confirm the active reciprocal subheading and effective period before quoting Thai-origin landed cost.

FAQ
How do I find the US HTS code for textile slipper from Thailand?
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 Thailand and China origins.
Does Thailand origin trigger Section 301?
Typically no. Section 301 (9903.88.x) is China-origin only. If processing in Thailand does not amount to substantial transformation, CBP can still rule the goods China-origin at entry. AD/CVD, reciprocal, and Section 232 may apply to Thailand independently.
