You have submitted a sample of what you state is a “Boot Glove Ltd.,” made of neoprene material, with velcro adjustments. “Boot Glove” is also the trademark name of this item.

Featuring an adjustable rear strap, the Boot Glove is designed to fit most boot sizes, from women’s size 5 to men’s size 13. The upper is made of neoprene material. There is no outer sole, only a textile strap that secures the upper to the boot. It is also secured to the back of the foot with a textile velcro backstrap. The applicable subheading for the “Boot Glove” will be 6406.99.1540, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for parts of footwear (including uppers whether or not attached to soles other than outer soles); removable insoles, heel cushions and similar articles, gaiters, leggings and similar articles, and parts thereof, other, of textile materials, of man-made fibers, other.
