6404.19.77.15 - House slippers 🖩

This classification specifically covers house slippers designed for indoor wear. These are characterized by flexible construction and comfort, intended for domestic use rather than outdoor activities. Key distinguishing features include their lightweight nature and often soft construction, which may include features like padded insoles or a plush lining.

The distinguishing factor for this subcategory lies in its construction and material composition, particularly concerning the outer sole and upper materials, as well as its value. While house slippers, the "Other" designation at this level signifies they do not fall under more specific sub-classifications of house slippers that might exist based on other material combinations or aesthetic features. The value threshold of "Valued over $3 but not over $6.50/pair" is a critical determinant, separating these slippers from those priced higher or lower.

Furthermore, the specification "With uppers of textile material other than vegetable fibers and having outer soles with textile materials having the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, but not taken into account under the terms of additional U.S. note 5 to this chapter" is crucial for definitive classification. This means the upper must be made of synthetic or man-made fibers, and the outer sole's primary contact surface with the ground must be textile-based, excluding specific types of textile soles detailed in additional U.S. notes. This level represents a precise intersection of material, construction, value, and intended use for house slippers.
