In your letter dated June 19, 2017, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your sample will be returned as requested.

The constituent material of the upper is man-made textile which is sewn to a sock bottom with a one inch hole. There is no outer sole. Uppers having a hole larger than a nickel are considered “unformed” even if shaped.

The rate of duty will be 4.5 percent ad valorem.
